Actually Snail, the type rating can be done on the SD360 and it covers you for the 330 also. All it takes is a half hour differences check consisting of a few circuits in different configs.
Oggie. As for WA, I can safely say that it is still alive and well and flying 5 nights a week. I only know this because I fly it 5 nights a week and am the last current F/O in the UK on the 330. In fact Emerald keep themselves with such few crew, my captain and I are the only current crew on the aircraft. I don't know what happens if we go off sick for example, and frankly I don't care!
If anyone knows the current price Emerald are charging for the shed rating I'd be keen to find out so I can way it up against the bond!
