I believe the home study for the 737 is done on the abacus.

The hardest part about learning the 737 was figuring out how to hand crank the motors like a model-T. Still having issues with that

So what is the reserve time looking like these days for 737/320 in LAX/LGA? I know it is a little over a year to bid out of those bases, but what is the time frame to holding a line?

which one is best for commuting QOL out of DFW.

Thanks for the response.
