As one of the many lazy 777 pilot I take exception to your thoughts above. I have never, ever heard a single other lazy 777 pilot talk about going to LGP. It is the talk of a few other pilots who cannot hold the 777, and never will before they turn 65, or who can hold it but don't want to commute to it, but they want the top pay based on their years of service. Delta has too few of the highest paying seats at the top of the pyramid, that's why LGP would help the many that won't ever be able to hold the top paying equipment, but will have 25-35 years of service, stuck on the 737 (once we park all those old 757's).

In my case, unless they re-open MIA, MCO or BOS, I'll be commuting to ATL for the rest of my life anyway, so it would do me no good. I might like to fly to other destinations, ie. the Caribe, on the 737, 757, or what ever (no more Mad Dog though, been there, done that, got the emotional scars to prove it!) but until LGP comes into effect, I'll be the laziest 777 pilot I can be.

Oh, I'm in Hong Kong at the moment, I had to fly a 3:45 leg down here from NRT last night and it was murder! No breaks, and only one meal! I gotta get off this thing, it's killing me, I had to make two landings in June!
