And yes our 767 groups include the 757, so the percentage would be even lower. APC figure 51 757s.
777/787/330/767/76T CAPT 1389
TTL CAPT. 5888
TTL FO. 7165
______________
TTL PILOTS 13053
WB CA TO TTL = .106 or 10 %
This should be the most accurate data FWIW unless my math is wrong

Don't forget dealing with co workers who think they're musicians/comedians and a safety culture that encourages rushing.

I know the original poster leaned toward long-haul type operations. But, considering the metrics we are talking about ($, profits, downturn, etc), they should consider SWA. 40+ consecutive quarters of profit. Paid a profit sharing check during both 9-11, and the 08-09 meltdown. Never declared bankruptcy, never furloughed a pilot. Great culture. Something to consider.

Or it could do everything it promised and they stick around. If that's the case, everyone else will order it as well, so any advantage is minor and temporary. There is no magic airplane. Anyone remember when JB was going to dominate the industry by launching the mighty E190?

Its still very much a risk. UA passed on them recently because BA/AB came hard to the paint and looked the other way while they shoplifted some 73s and 320s. Its hard for smaller companies to compete with mega companies and their devastating loss leaders. Canadair had to make a VERY lucrative deal, which is great because everyone loves a deal, but let's not fool ourselves. Its still unproven (Swiss and Baltic aren't close to enough) and we could end up with some orphaned hyper electronic Fokkers not far down the road.

Not seeing them fly in North America currently does not help marketing efforts...

I am looking forward to see some of the new long and thin routes we can make work out of LAX - any guesses?
LAX - BDL
LAX- PVD
Probably make some of the seasonal/Past flights LAX into year round
LAX-PHL
LAX-IND
LAX-Anywhere in FL.
The possibilities are numerous.
