FYI - the mega senior FAs command the Delta 767 across the ocean. And ain’t none of them under 40.

In command To Europe on TOE and prob not much else. I’m a local and a ‘14 hire and agree it may go very, very junior. With that said I’m going to stay on my narrow body with no red eye/circadian disruptions(been there, done that), no drives with armed escorts to my hotel in Africa that I need to take Maleron for, etc over every weekend and holiday for the foreseeable future. I’ll let my ego sit this one out lol. But yes, it would be cool to be an under 40 767A here. It will happen and if not this bid, one very soon.

What does this actually mean? Not being sarcastic, I honestly just don't understand what people are commanding. You're flying a plane from one airport to another.

Cool post. Very informative. If you didn’t know what the poster meant you’re in the wrong profession.

I understand what the word means. I don't understand the philosophical importance that some people apply to being an airplane captain. You're flying a plane from one airport to another, and you do nothing without consulting the airline. What is the big deal? It's not like you're commanding a battleship or running a major corporation.

Wasn't trying to be informative, I was asking an honest question. If I've offended you, I'm sorry.
