737 flying
 

737 - what do schedules look like? Where do you fly to?

We cover a huge geographic area. Alaska, Hawaii, CONUS, all of Latin America, most of the Caribbean islands and Venezuela and Columbia in SA. A few years ago we even did Manaus deep in Brazilian Amazon country. CONUS flying has an excellent variety of short and transcontinental legs.

There's a good mix of 1-5 day trips. Junior peeps will do redeyes and MEX, which seems to be avoided by a good portion of the group for a variety of reasons. Also a good mix of commutable trips if that's your thing.

All of the US including Key West and Hawaii. Canada, Latin America, South America and Caribbean. Flying changes by base monthly and seasonally system wide.

And if you're 5'6"or under, and half deaf already, the cockpits are great!!😆😆

great trips, uncomfortable cockpit.

As someone said earlier. A 6-hour airplane equipped with a 2-hour cockpit.

It's awkward to get in and out of the seat, which is unfortunate with some of the longer legs (pilot's and aircraft's). FO's bag goes in the main cabin, and actually behind First Class on the -900... annoying at the times you are trying to go reverse flow. Lav and water status indicators are conveniently located at the back of the airplane. Overhead panel, even on the newest 737, hasn't advanced much in decades. The noise can be mitigated by a good anr headset, but the good anr headset can be mitigated by a captain who would rather yell (or worse, mumble) and listen to the overhead speaker. Intercom use seems to be increasing slowly. The airplane is happy to overspeed itself if you aren't paying attention. The trips and layovers are generally some of the best in the domestic system. Some aspects of the avionics are great and others are a little quirky. Captains seem to love the hud. If you like saying goodbye, it takes a long time to get all the passengers out, so that's nice.

Earplugs are your best friends.

I'm pretty sure Boeing renamed the clacker the "mountain wave detector".

You can do touch n goes.
