Right now if you'd prefer a lot of 4 days, the 88 is the place to go. Not many on the 717. That will change. The company won't let you have, as I do next month, a 70 hour line with 25 hours of flying for very .
Hey FTB, just wondering how most guys like flying the 717 compared to MD88?? I hear a lot of power, all the magic (vnav, etc) works better?? Do you think the 717 will finally unseat some FO's from the widebodies?
Be interesting to see how junior, or senior the plane will go for CA once all the planes arrive!
