Gulf Air A330/340's

Does anyone know if Gulf operates the 330/340 with the same pilot group? For example, are pilots type rated and rostered to fly both the 330/340?

Yes they do...not all are qualified yet, but it is in progress....320-330 as well..

Even the A320 ?!? I would think that the A320 would be flown by one pilot group, and the 330/340 would be flown interchangeably by another pilot group (w/ differences training).

But the A320 is a narrowbody, and much smaller compared to the A330/340 (both comparable in size).

Are you sure GF will soon have only one pilot group flying all three A320/330/340 interchangeably?!?

Thanks!

330/340 are flown by the same pilot group and training captains on 320 fly 320/330. Actually there are more company's with dual rated pilots on 320/330 than 330/340, GF is one of the few.
