Fly whatever they pay you to at work. Its all in the system, recorded, and standardized.

Days off...fly real airplanes. Sticks and tailwheels.

Just enough work to make me feel semi important and just a nice ride. Now if only Boeing could figure out modern ergonomics...

777 FO talking about being hesitant to bid off of the 767 "I loved the 767. DL friend who'd flown both said "I know you love the 767. After two weeks on the 777 you'll be throwing bricks at the 767. You know what, he's right." It's stupid nice which is why CA is going so junior, 777/787 FO's aren't upgrading.

i’ve only been in the airlines for 11 years. and to be honest, logging 8-950 hours a year i’ve had enough hand flying to last the next 20. Gimme that Atari Ferrari and ill be the happiest guy at AA learning and watching that computer do the work. If someone is jonesing for some real deal flying get ya a Thunder Mustang kit and go nuts. or a L/29/39 and start a racing career. Maybe i’m just lazy and wanna work smarter not harder.

Check DFW bus N3.... I'd say 1/4 of our Short call reserve coverage is to DH to ORD to rescue a trip

cheAAper that way, same with Philly I’m sure. They put out some memo not too long ago how we do the most out-of-base flying through there. Charlotte and DC must surely feed Chicago as well.
