I do realize that no one really knows - but this is the inter web - everyone can take a WAG with no repercussions, right? Have at it...

It was assigned to a couple of classes in March. Idk how many slots are left from the previous AE, but I’m sure it will be available to NHs again in the not-too-distant future.

No WAG required.

Something to think about before all you soon to be hired guys start drooling at the prospect of getting into the 767-400 as a first jet, you have to go thru the entire 757-767 syllabus first (with all the differences therein... THEN go to a differences course. (unless things have changed in recent years). I'm not sure if you have to do 757-767 OE or not, but at least it used to be that way.

Looking at the training guide, ER through the 300s, then 400 for the 400s. A fair bit of work, but nothing somehow with prior 121 time would struggle with.

Why are people so averse to training, outside of having to be on Virginia avenue and away from family? People keep talking about how they would bid XYZ, but don’t want to train so they don’t. Training isn’t hard and it isn’t painful. It is never in my calculus for career moves and I was surprised that it is for others. It’s a drop in the bucket.

Truth. I never thought anything about the -ER training, but over the years I heard a lot of complaining about all the differences. 757-200/300 767-300/300ER. Never bothered me much though. Step up... 767. Step down... 757. After that it is just dealing with whatever you have in front of you.

I can see people having buyers remorse when I was 2 weeks into ER training, especially when doing 3 E period sims in a row. IQ IS kind of a grind that I can see a lot of people avoiding at all costs. But you’re right it’s like ripping a bandaid off. I’m SO glad I bid off the bus. ER trips are a thousand times better than the rest of the narrowbody fleet, and I like the plane a lot more.

Not just ER through the 300s, but but mostly 757 sim 4 through the 300s, then the -400 sim. I can’t remember what name the training department had for 757-4, but it was far more polite than it deserves (under the most generous circumstances). That said, the -400 is really nice to fly, and the transatlantic schedule is back enough that the May bid pack had a long list of discontinued domestic overnights.

You won't have a problem getting reserve in weekends if that's what you want. The bottom 5-10% usually have it forced on their line and at least one person will thank you for taking it.

Bid your golden days for the first day off after a rsv stretch and if you're lucky enough to not be flying they have to release you by noon.

Just for clarity, the 6 Golden days on reserve can only go on the first off day(s) after a reserve stretch. In no more than 3 groups.

You must not have ever been a Delta Mad Dog pilot! They did all they could to make that training both hard and painfull!
