Ok, Ok, Okkkk already!

I am in SFO 777. I came close to going non-current for landings, this means SFO 777 is pretty overstaffed at the moment. When sparky took most of the international flying, I was actually thinking I'd get a bump off the plane. If you look at SFO 777 retirements, not many are retiring this year. So...one might conclude that the bids are in preparation for the 777-300. Just as the company said. BTW, why, does it really matter? Because this is the tip of the iceberg. Lots more bids to come.

My guess is that the company is still constrained by the training. The only way to prepare for that many planes in that short a time is to train ahead of time. Training in Aug, hitting the line in Oct, just as flying declines for the fall makes no sense, except to prepare for the new planes. Which also means I stay stuck on reserve and no hope of breaking guarantee.

Also, I just had my PT, or whatever it is called these days. I took a few minutes to go and talk to the fleet upstairs, and the 777 fleet is still woefully short of LCA's. It takes 3-6 months to get an LCA up to speed enough to be useful. Do I see yet another train wreck on the horizon, yes.
