In addition, being a lifetime heavy girl, I REALLY had no interest in learning how to fly a prop-job just to finish out my ATP (feather the WHAT???). At least the 737-300 had automation that was almost exactly like flying a KC-10, and the same engines as the KC-135 (both planes I used to fly)...made the flying portion a BREEZE! (Oh, yeah, and thanks Uncle Sam for footing the bill!!)
