Wide Body requirements for long haul query
This may be the wrong forum.
But I was thinking about wide body jobs. Mainly 777 and 787 direct entry requirements in the middle east and Asia and how they generally require around 6000TT and 1000 Wide Body PIC
Having not flown a wide body forgive my potentially dumb question. Is it really that big a difference between an A320 to the A330/340 and Boeing 738 to a 777 or 787?
I cant imagine a captain with thousands of hours PIC on the smaller bird really struggling after doing a type rating and line training to land the thing.
Is there more to it? Can anyone who has flown both comment.
