it takes sweet fu^kall training to convert your average CPL candidate from <5700kg ops to transport category ops.
I hope you get your shot soon Zoomy, but you might just have to rethink that statement. Multi crew ops are not any harder, just a lot different.
Also it is quite rare to fly a 'circuit' in an airliner, but it is a square base, just like the littlies. On the 380 it is a square base leg until .9nm xtrk deviation then turn final.
