Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the conversion to a second/third variant was called CCQ, and once flying you were designated as a MFF flying.

Anyway, mere mortals on the 330/340 will not fly all types regardless on what label you want to put on it.

CCQ is only the approved course, in this case AirBus. Yet to be said but I think we will do a AirBus CCQ 330-380( 1month long).MFF is the approval to fly more than one variant, looks like the cockpit layout is just abit too different for MFF.

Thanks that makes total sense. There was mention in the letter from Edward about the 330 to 380 arrangement.

Devil MMF Vs CCQ

Got it thanx.... there will be a CCQ to go across to the 380 but once there there will be no MFF....
That makes a lot more sense than what I was originally told and re reading the paper work it's now as clear as mud.

I must admit that I wait with some fear and morbid fascination when opening Mr Ed's latest and greatest words of wisdom....always seems to confuse, and thats when he has it right..

Tune in next week for the latest episode of " Mr Eds Battle with the English Language." ( At least the Horse made sense)
