B777 Captains & TRIs

[bafanguy]

This ad has an air of desperation to it compared to a lot of other ads for expats. 80 B777 captains and 8 TRIs ? Fun to watch...

A little update: shook the bushes a bit and found out this is likely Jet Airways. Considering DL has 179 B777 captains in ATL, 80 + 8 for Jet is pretty ambitious.

What is a TRI?

What is a TRI?

Type Rating Instructor. It's a JAA and every other part of the world except the US thing, and if you ask in the US about it, nobody will have a clue how to get it. There's also the Type Rating Examiner (TRE) which you'll see some times on expat ads.

Is that the equivalent of sim instructor/examiner?

Kind of but not really, from my understanding. Training is sim based, but it's for line checks and type ratings in the actual airplane. Think of it more as a government designation for a check airman; instead of the company designating them as a c/a, the FAA would have a special designation for it.
