Haven't heard that term before. Sounds like the same concept. Whats the difference?
Anyone doing it on a regular, fleet-wide basis - as opposed to just a small group of pilots (e.g. instructors)?

Gulf Air has it's Airbus widebody Captains and First Officers cross-qualified on A340/A330.
They also have a handful of Captains cross-qualififed on A330/A320, but these are mostly simulator instructors.

Thanks guys.
Am I right in thinking 'mixed fleet flying' refers to doing A319/320/321 type ops?
If so, nah - thats a piece of piss.
What interests me is how many companies are going A320/A330 (or up).
Its being mooted by our crowd right now, but frankly, all I see is problems. Maybe I'm wrong.
I'm curious about the practicalities of integrating a Widebody with a Narrow body.
How does the training regime work? Currency? Conversions courses? Crew failure rates? Incident rates? Productivity benefits? Is it REALLY worth doing, or just a 'curiosity' with limited benefit and cost impacts which outweigh the benefit?
Is anybody doing it on a 'large scale' as policy, rather than on a limited basis?

Technically speaking in Airbus terms, a CCQ is a Cross Cockpit Qualification - a convervsion from one Airbus FBW type to another. MFF is flying more than one type on one licence. It appears you are asking about the latter.
My Travel in the UK also do it.

Emirates do it - 332/343/345.
Personally I don't find it a problem for general ops, but your tech knowledge can go downhill compared to flying one a/c. Things like cross wind/autoland limits etc etc.
A jack of all types and master of none
