How come the FDA's and 777 have higher values? Why shouldn't we have system averages instead of individual a/c BLG's. Why not just make the 777 average 110 hours and the MD-11 average 40 hours? After all we all know the 777 folks are special (just ask them). Is that next?
Mark,
Most of the time your posts are pretty reasonable, however I disagree with you here. Personally my experience in the right seat of the 777 has been better than it was in other jets. Yeah there are some "tools" but I've encountered more guys that treat you well and offer to by the first, second and third rounds than I did in other equipment.
