I'm just wondering, in which program does the A330 count as hours/ flights to your captain status?

The A330 - 200 and A330 - 300 are secondary aircraft in the B767 and B777 programs. For program credit you need to be in the program. If you are outside the program and have ratings in either B767 or B777, flights flown will appear as valid, but not count towards promotion.

yes, but you can fly the a330 and get it to count towards promotion if you are a 767 FO

Terry, will we be adding an A330 program or will it just remain as a secondary ratting in the 767 and 777 programs?

I think when they open the a320 program all Airbus aircraft will be a secondary rating. But not sure.

We will inaugerate the A320 program soon.
No plans for A330 program per se unless of course DAL adds it to their fleet.
Need to get back to you about the secondary aircraft in the A320 program.

Terry, why not start an A330 program? Delta is already painting the former NWA A330s in Delta colors and once the operating certificates are combined, won't Delta then operate the A330? I'm just curirous about it though I have no intention of joining any A330 program. Thanks.
