I think what surprised me the most was seeing 4-5 year seniority pilots getting EWR 756 CA. There is a lot of flying on that fleet and to be less than 5 years on the property flying left seat in a 767 is still something those of us hired in the 90s are bewildered that its still happening. Especially since 767-400 is WB pay.
yes! seems like many are taking upgrade even if they have to commute as it’s either now or never with the amount of ulcc former captains who will be gunning for upgrade. No time like now in the entire industry .
