Off topic, but, the 767s on order are planned to do what kind of flying? Mostly domestic? Is that what most of the current 767s are doing?

I believe they are ER models that will be doing pond jumping. The A300 is slowly but surely leaving Europe....so we are told.

unfortunately 0%, there are some requirements they will not budge on. Have a bud in the same boat as you. No 4 year degree no chance.

There are probably some people on property that didn't have 1000 PIC when they got hired either. Was there not a time when 1000 PIC wasn't a requirement?
