Thanks FrateMate

Ya, the wait of a year was actually the most frustrating part - but based on what I had read here regarding DEC and the now necessary 67 endorsement I figured that I would at the very least simply be put in a pool, although Im not sure of one exists.

Not sure I want to go FO, I dont know enough about upgrade times and sitting in the LHS now part of me says sit tight and watch for other DEC contracts.

Korean is always looking for 777 DEC but they want 67 or 57 time .. which to me is interesting bc the 37NG to 777 is a 14 day conversion course.

I have the ETOPS experience the multi crew, the airline experience so its frustrating that 500hrs in a 57 or 67 would make me a better 777 Capt.

"fly from the ears forward" ive always been told, meaning fly the numbers fly the SOPS and whats behind you will follow safely.

Interested in any and all advice people on how to break into the widebody market in a DEC role.

Cheers

WJP
