[QUOTE="jb747, post: 2313505, member: 24168"] I think his actual progression was 767-747-767-330-787. So started as a 767 SO, then 767 FO, 744 FO, 767 Capt, 330 Capt, 787 Capt. In normal times, you don’t step backwards in rank, nor can you go to a lower graded aircraft, unless it’s for a promotion. We flew together once, on what was called a ”rice bowl”, a 10 day trip around Asia on the 767. My favourite trip on the aircraft. I don’t know that he was in management, as I didn’t keep track of the fleets that I wasn’t currently on, but he was a senior check Captain (i.e. the sim) on the 767, and probably 330 and 787. Good choice for the job. I don’t know where he found the time, but from what I heard, he actually did the paramedic training before covid. Perhaps it was a continuation of what he was doing before flying. There were well qualified people who moved from their roles to become pilots. [/QUOTE]
