Hi all
I'm based in Auz & looking for a bit of info regarding B777 training.
In a nut, I'm getting a bit longer in the tooth these days and not having any luck with the usual suspects, in Auz / NZ interview wise, it's time for me to think outside the box a bit.
With regard to getting a B777 rating, a few questions to those who've been through the process.
It looks as if the main options for me are Air NZ or Boeing (US&A)
Given the current trend in the Aussie dollar, US looks like the more cost effective option (accomodation & airfares may negate that somewhat).
The main questions I have are...
(i) What's the difference in quality of training? (I prefer Bob Tait style over CBT any day)
(ii) Does the Rating cover all variants of the B777?
(iii) If done in the US, can the rating be put on my NZ or Aussie ATPL without too much hassle?
(iv) Any other related advise greatfully recieved (I'll be approaching this from a position of no IFR recency or jet experience & I appreciate the Mt Everest of a learning curve that it will be) :confused:
Please forgive my ignorance if this has been done to death on this forum before.
I'm not looking for a debate on the merits of being bonded vs buying a job either way you end up paying for it, just after info on getting the rating.
Regards.
