If I fly a flight that is supposed to be flied with a 737-300 with a 738, is that going to matter? Can I use a 737 for something that uses an A321? If I make up a flight that a 737 could be used with, will the hours still count?
Thanks,

Yes, as long as the aicraft can make the route, and you have the rating.

Hey James,

As for this part of your question: "If I make up a flight that a 737 could be used with, will the hours still count?"

You have to fly the routes listed here on the DVA site, if you want to count the time.

I believe it's possible to get management approval to do a flight that's not on the schedule ( I have never tried this myself).

Hope this helps you out, feel free to ask more questions if you need to. smile

Thanks,

-Dave

If you can find a historic flight that is not in the schedule, it may be possible to ask management to add it.

If I can find historic flights to Australia from US Mainland, PHNL, or NTAA, I will gladly ask. We are lacking in OZ flights.
