I was NOT saying that the current 380 F/Os are not capable of upgrading on the 380. I'm stating that the current requirements state that 3,000 hours EK Command Time On 330/340 or 777 Is Required Ergo; no RHS to LHS on 380!!!

Yes, things change (you don't need to tell me thanks), but I am of the understanding that the requirement is as much to reduce the insurance premiums on the hulls as it is for the top brass to sleep peacefully at night - without nightmares of big smoking holes in the ground... Not that I doubt most of you 380 F/Os would do a wonderful job.

As an aside - the two second courses of 777 to 380 are cancelled. From a little birdie in my shell-like. (that means 'ear' for those of you who can't see the difference between Knight and Night)
