Do you train how to use different types of plane?

Ian Pullin (Retired British Airways Pilot) gives expert video advice on: How much can a successful airline pilot earn?; Do you sleep on a very long flight?; What happens if a passenger becomes seriously ill in mid air? and more...

I only flew Boeings, and every Boeing requires a type of different course. You go into our training school and do a ground course, which gets you up to scratch on the knowledge of the aircraft. You then do a simulator flying, which gets you up to the flying skill. These days, your first sector-in-command or out of the training school, you could be using a proper aircraft with passenger on board. The simulators are so good these days.
