I expect we will a order of about 300 797s in 2025 so 20 k pilots
is not unrealistic...Combine that with your 10mil 401k and PS of 75k for 30 years the future is good..When these old guys leave we can sit as widebody capt for 30 years or more..

Maybe. Maybe not. As of now 10 are "deferred" and may or may never show up.
300 vaporware jets 5-6 years from now is extremely unlikely. Whatever we do order will mostly be fleet replacement.
LOL nah not even close. Even with training bubble slack for the mass exodous coming up, I doubt it'll ever swell above 16K only for the transition, and likely not even that. Plus they're licking their chops with even more "optimization" and tricks like reducing block time by bribing us with "door pay" etc.
LOL yeah ok there hoss. Cause the market always goes up and this bull market will roar forever and ever.
LOL yeah ok. That would mean about 25% off a 300K salary, consistently and uninterrupted, for 3 decades. In this industry. Right.
Dang it, shame on me for actually taking all that srsly. Well trolled my friend, well trolled indeed.

Cannot speak to the 330 but there is an MEL on the 320 that has you leave the gear down for 60 seconds or so after liftoff.

Looked it up, the procedure is for an MEL where one of the four wheel brakes is inop. Could be the 330 has something similar. I’ve done it twice in the 320.
