This sounds super dubious, I feel like you fell down on this analogy. I mean, they probably have some different controls and systems, but you can probably just run co-pilot for a few flights to get acquainted and then be good to go (leaving out the fact that most commercial planes essentially fly themselves for most of the trip these days anyhow)
- huangc10 10y agoAh yes. To be honest, both examples I used are real life examples. My brother happens to be a 777 pilot. He tells me it's not really feasible for him to transfer to an Airbus. He can see himself flying another Boeing, but both would take years+ of training.
