Class start 16 Mar. IOE 757 complete 10 June. Lots of 3-4 day breaks.

767 SLF started the next week with 1 day of differences and 4 legs at the end of the week. Scheduled end was 20 June. That's a 103 day footprint.

Unfortunately, someone failed to chock a cart with a can properly, and last Friday while I was at the hub meeting the wind caught the can and blew it into that nice, new, 767 waiting for my last 2 legs... Airplane strike=gauge change=no SLF flight that day. With a house closing (refi), vehicle sale, dentist and doctor appts, a domestic move and the Hong Kong mover all going on the next 10 days, I asked to have the last SLF flight delayed for 10 days. There is simply too many events scheduled (thinking training would be done) to move. That rolexes the footprint to about 112-115 days. I never had a sick instructor or a broken sim, but as tightly as things are wound if you are going to the 75/76 I think you can expect to be in training for a while. If I were king I'd just add HUD/EVAS into the program and use it all along, and I think that's the plan...but its still pending.

Only had 2 legs in 767, but flying over the Grand Canyon in the left seat had me thinking it was worth the trouble. Thanks to Jethro and the fine cadre of guys who helped me along the way...
