They may operate any service in the Pacific within range of Australia or New Zealand. While the B737 is scheduled for international service due to it's longer range, and the B738 programmed for all domestic 737NG routes, either type may operate either internationally or domestically (within range constraints). |
B777-200LRThe extra-long range type may fly any B787/A330 or B747/A380 route without restriction. |

EQV
Ever seen the symbol EQV for aircraft type on an airline timetable?
It stands for EQuipment Varies and it means that different types operate this service on different days. This can be as simple as a mix of variants of one type (say a 737-300 one day and a 737-400 the next) to big changes, say a 737 to a 767.
Compass has decided to allow pilots to replicate this situation in their operations. It will allow pilots to operate routes normally flown by other types and increase the range of flights available to crews.
The way this works is that you stay on your currently rated type and can use that type to fly routes usually flown by other types.
PLEASE NOTE This does not prevent Compass pilots from flying any type they choose at any time. However you only accumulate hours towards promotion on your current rated type, or the equivalent Airbus/MD type.
To take advantage of this system simply fly the flights and report them at the end of the week. Please add the EQV code to the comments field of either the online or email flight report forms.
