My first question is on the training blueprint between both of these fleets. I am assuming you stay on training pay until you complete OE??? If so I understand the 7er has a longer training blueprint as well as an additional international checkout. How much time does this add to being stuck on training pay? Secondly I have a strategy question that is different from most. I have no preference between NYC and ATL as both are good options. I would like to know which aircraft seems to enjoy a much greater long call reserve situation. Don't really care much about holding a line year one. Thank you in advance.
