Thank you for sharing information that is important in this industry.

[@RealDealy]

Love this information, I needed it!

[@redcat9436]

Who does the maintenance? In house, factory service center, etc?

[@kamiparto6886]

I bought all the camps and you are responsible for providing my comfort because I am the decision maker. By next week, I hope the effect will be arranged and my comfort will be arranged, both financially and mentally.

A good fifth question can I have two equally qualified Captains especially when traveling internationally . Nothing against 1st officers just wondering .

[@KuostA]

lol that isnt reasonable

[@brandonadams7837]

unreasonable, just make sure the FO has PIC type rating, not SIC.

[@SuperRaptor4]

That’s definitely isn’t the most prudent query since most current and proficient captains might not have had the recency of experience working the FO station. Could lead to more complications especially during an emergency. A qualified FO would be a safer option.
