Mr Bernoulli said earlier:
So, you must have the 500 hours "at the point of application" (which could be done as late as the end of Jan 2011), and recency on an appropriate type "within the last 12 months". I don't think there is much room for doubt there.
Interested to know how other people are interpreting this.
BA say their requirements are:
A current type rating on either the Airbus A320 series or Boeing 737/757/767, with an ATPL(F) and a minimum of 500 hrs recent experience on type.
Please ensure you have these hours now, at the point of application.
for your information recency is:- flown on one of the above type(s) within the last 12 months
Does this mean that:
- you must have flown at least 500 hours ON TYPE within the last 12 months?
Or
- simply that you must have "flown on one of the above types" within the last 12 months? (ie done SOME flying on those types in the last 12 months, and obviously have 500 hours on type, but not required for all of that time to be within the last 12 months)...
I ask because I am currently part time and have considerably more than 500 hours on type, but not quite 500 hours within the past 12 months, if you're still following me!
