RJ, 73, 777...it's all the same job guys...Is your ego that important you have to fly a 777 someday? your willing to starve to get there? Hope you look back in the end and say it was worth it...5 years in and three airframes later...a wife, a baby, no benies, no pension...I'm out! You can have my #!
