If you get an rp position on the 330, 777, 787 can you eventually upgrade positions to fo on the same plane? Or would you have to go on a narrow body to get that jet time and re bid to get back on a widebody as a fo? Forgive me, just curious how that whole thing works.

you can go from RP to widebody FO, however you'd be burning your RP and Widebody FO bid

[BingBong]

Wouldn’t this just be a 1/2 CR?

There's no such rules like that. You can bid whatever your seniority will allow (and assuming you have the course rights). You could technically go RP straight to WB captain.

[Art Vandelay]

Yes, you could get hired and go RP on the 787 then bid 787 FO down the road for example, and use half a course right as BingBong said. No requirement to go FO on a narrowbody first.

[Crewbunk]

No requirement to go FO on a narrowbody first.

Hell, we’ve had guys do their command course on the Triple. Bid what you can hold!

For all those wondering

A class of 40 started started 2 days ago. YYZ YUL and YVR with a mix of narrow and wide body positions are being offered.

Calls are going out for August ground school.

[Mekki]

How many GS's of 40 are ran a month? Would a late July interview be within the timeline for a late August GS provided one is successful?

[smooth]

I had background check last week, and references two days ago. Is this a good sign? How much longer can I expect for a offer? It's about 4 weeks after my interview
