I've flown 5 different aircraft types since I've been here, enjoy training, and planning on adding to that count.. I love the variety of equipment and the variety of routes that you can end up doing. It's a great airline for someone as ADD as myself.
Our current number 1, Haley, just celebrated his 41st year last month and has 1 more to go! I've heard he's a fantastic guy, too. Even though he slotted in at #2 in the SLI, he's virtually been #1 along with Cal due to the 777/744 fence. Anyone know how long he was at the top of NW pre merger?
Its all about attitude. It is great to see people who see the positive side, even when its easy to get caught up in having a bad attitude when things aren't going well...
The narrowbody - widebody fleet composition makes the majors the best in terms of variety to suit your needs. Heres some food for thought though: We always think of widebody as a senior privilege. But realistically, wouldn't you want to do widebody intl flying when youre young, and then as you get older and prefer not to switch timezones, then go narrowbody domestic? The proof of that theory is UPS. Since they have a single payscale, check out which aircraft and flying goes senior, and which goes junior. Domestic 75/76 goes way senior, and 747-400 intl goes way junior. While Im not necessarily a fan of single payscale (unless its amazing), but its interesting isn't it?
