Default 777

In a few years after leaving the profession maybe you could treat yourself to a 777 type?

Personally I think it would be fun to get a new type rating every two years instead of a BFR. And, it would be a great way to stay professionally proficient. It also could satisfy a bit of the big jet bug at the same time.

Just a thought...

Years ago I took my baby sons to a free fly-in demonstrator show of new planes. I saw a bunch of guys who were in their low 30's and all had their brand new planes on display. I asked each one what they did for a living and got many surprising responses. At the same time I was working as a full time 757 FO and could hardly afford to buy lunch for my family and these guys were blowing off a Saturday morning in their 300K toys. On that day I knew I was in the wrong profession.
