Dude, lighten up.

Here is what that "person/s" thinks. The 777 has been aka the Toolbox for a long time now here on property, almost from the beginning. It's been no secret. I initially heard the term from 777 guys themselves. We lost many of our "colorful" tools from the MD11 to the 777, and I hear from my many Airbus buds that they lost many of their tools as well.

My comment is more a jab at the Toolbox, and not the new hires. It was a joke. I joke with many of my 777 buds about being in the Toolbox, they laugh, they get it. Maybe you don't get it. Sorry to touch a nerve. Are you on the 777.

I hear that one of the biggest tools formerly of the MD11 and now of the 777 may have actually turned himself in recently for having an issue with kleptomania - lets just say that I know first hand that the passport that he may have handed over when he may have turned himself in (if true) is not the first he has been suspected of stealing.

I'm sure there are others that went to the 777 from other aircraft that made the pilots of their previous aircrafts sigh with relief (those cool 777 lanyards in lieu of ALPA lanyards, bidding it without a negotiated pay scale, lots of over 60 guys right after the regulatory age change, etc didn't do much to quash that perception). And I have no doubt that there are those that have stood up and filled the void that those guys left went they went to the 777. Heck, for all I know, I could be one of the new tools on the MD11, which is why I keep giving away the odd landing each trip and buying my FOs beers - so they don't out me.
