Any truth to new 767 sims in Tokyo? Can you request those in class?

Those Japan Sims are supposed to begin in about a month. Used for Initial New Hire and Transition. Request? Probably no need.

Yes


Yes. You can request anything, of course. Are you one of those that asks ATC: “ Can we request three five zero?” :D (just yanking your chain)

Seriously….I mean, really. I won’t mention names on this board, but the most efficient and experienced training scheduler loves pistachios. A gift tin of such would go a long way.

She's also nice. I mean you don't have to schmooze for schmoozing's sake. She'll go out of her way to help you out with family, etc. Just don't be a jerk to her.

Yes, you’re exactly right about her.

Apparently, the jovial nature of my intent to get her more pistachios came across as a conniving. My bad. I was just kind of hoping it wouldn’t be taken as “schmoozing” or being a “jerk”. :rolleyes:

I thought I read it a while back but can't find it. Wondering how many days trips typically range from on the 767? I was told the 767 does more domestic flying and has shorter trips than other fleets. Any insight is appreciated.

Page 2 of the Atlas Thread has a "767 Questions" thread.

Everything is subject to change. However; the short answer is you are looking at 2, maybe 3 blocks on a 30 day Primary Line. 3 or 4, maybe 5 blocks on a 60 day line. That equates to 6 to 12 day trips.

Secondary and Reserve lines seem to be done in one or two blocks on a 30 day. There are some single block 30 day Primary lines, but those may be less than 17 days.

Every month is a big surprise when the bids come out. Latest trend I have seen is to just stick a FO on the same flight day after day. No variety.

Thanks a lot, I appreciate the insight!

I don't think you were being conniving at all. I was more trying to build on what you said. I remember folks, myself included, thinking long and hard about approaching her. Just trying to say she's approachable.

Hi everyone, I’m a CA at a regional in the US , currently .
I will soon need to commute from South America , and my current schedule won’t allow that .
Looking into the 74’s 17/13 schedule , is this type of commute realistic ?

Also, I know the upgrade on the 73 is faster than the rest of the fleet , how’s the 73 schedule ? How many legs do you guys do per day, either on the 74 or 73?

Thanks so much for the info .
