Dear friends,

I have been looking into this contract for a while and I will apply for a F/O position anytime soon, have to sort some issues with flight hours (PIC, cross country, etc) and some other small details first. I am currently on a 767 freight operator, under an ICAO license, and a bit shy of 2000 hrs, total.

For the time being I am reading the thread from start (page 10 already, wish me luck) but would like to clarify two doubts:

Upgrade to command: can F/Os expect to be upgraded to commander when the time/slot/experience/etc is there? Or is this a F/O forever contract, with no chance for upgrading?

Command rating: The ads I saw for this contract mention a valid jet aircraft command rating, what they mean with that? I was never rated as PIC on a jet aircraft, only first officer. Is this a problem?

Anyway, they ask 3000 hours minimum, again as per the ads, and looks I will have to get them first, meaning this is a mid-term project, perhaps not for 2014 but from mid-2015 ahead.

Arigatou gozaimasu

Cheers!
