Wow someone revived a 3 year old thread to slam the writer? Stranger things have happened on the web.

For UAL pilots there was a day when we had the "rope start" and the "400" on the property. Both are variants of the "whale" and represented the biggest airplanes.

At the bottom end we had the "guppy," which came in two variants, "thunder" and "yuppie" (with some of the late sixties pilots calling it "fat Albert" before the Blue Angels named their C-130 that).

Oh and I forgot to mention the "standard," "stretch" and "advanced" versions of the "three holer."

Must be a "millennial" who complained about the precision of a "boomer" while ignoring completely the "X."

Why are some people so sensitive about a 767 of any size? It's just another comfortable, boring, two engine, and automated jet. If we really loved it we'd give it a handle.
