I was going back and forth with another WG guy about the timeline for a full initial. The CARs are such fun. I found here it references 24 months (I think I read it right) for the PPC. I did my sim PPC on 02 Oct 2019 and my line check 10 Nov 2019 (new hire from 2019). I expire 01 Nov if I read it right. Since I'm waaaaay down on the list it probably doesn't matter since I don't think that they will clear the training backlog in time, but if it's 30 or 36 months then maybe I can avoid a full initial. Where did you find the 30 and 36 months reference? I saw reference to 30 and 36 months in Part VI but I think this one applies. Happy to be proven wrong and maybe avoid an initial.......unless we run it in MIA or Europe!
