Default 787

How long would it realistically take to work your way onto the 787 dreamliner?

IDK.

It’s a very senior plane.

If the retirements really kick in, things could change fast.

Lowest in LAX are 2001 hires (with 05’ from AWA also mixed in that seniority range). They can all hold NB CA. So we’ll probably have 2014 hires on it in 2.5 years, just looking at my seniority calculator, and standard disclaimer about economic events etc.

Junior LAX 787 guy is about 3750 from the bottom. Based on retirements a pilot hired today would be looking at right at 5 years to get to that seniority. There are 8 more deliveries planned between this year and 2019, so that might drop a little bit.

The really, really cool thing about the 787 is that it has a yoke to stare at for 14 hours.

Hey you need that mechanical advantage with a big yoke to power the hydraulic actuators.

Head smacking truth!!!! What a waste of space.

But Airbus has a side stick and Boeing can’t admit someone has a better mouse trap.
