The new sims will help, think of it as your roof having multiple leaks and you just plugged only one. We are also short on 74 instructors (our fleet in worst shape manning wise), and it takes a long time to make new ones (about a year).

When I came here I mistakenly thought I’d be flying the 757 predominantly in the SDF 757 domicile because it is commonly referred to as “75 domestic” - but there is plenty of 767 flying as well. Someone else will have to speak for the specifics of the “Z”, but I would imagine it is a similar split.

I have no idea what the actual breakdown of 757/767 hours per domicile is, however - but you’ll fly both considerably in any of the “757” domiciles.

Historically (ie. before any deliveries began in Q3’2017) the 757 was staffed at 10 per airplane, the whale at 23 per airplane.
I haven’t looked recently but I’d guess 747 is WAY lean on that right about now...
