You need a North Atlantic qualification.
They started the PDL service by qualifying the pilots in the CLE base because the CLE base is relatively small and it could be done quickly. The rest of us will be qualified in our normal training cycles. For now, all of the PDL flights are on trips flown by CLE pilots.
