Out of interest, and I ask because I don't know the answer(!), how long does it take to convert to a different type for our civil brethren?
..... couple of weeks for ground school, ten simulator sessions (say 2 weeks with days off) day for circuits, day to get all the paperwork sorted then line training.
Call it 5-7 weeks before starting to make money for the company.
Then anything from 20 - 50 sectors line training (but done on revenue flights) with a trainer.
Depending on the type of operation line training can be done in 3 - 6 weeks.
So 10-12 weeks till fully released.
Depending on type might be a day or two more or less.
