If all the 767s go away, then training has a problem because then the 767 sims can't be used. Right now, 7ER pilots can use any sim for training events.

if the 767s go away so does a good chunk of ER pilots. Don’t we have 5 757 sims? I think the 737 only has 6 (5 in ATL + 1 in SLC) and we have more than twice as many 737s as 757s

Soon might be a bit of a stretch as the orders were only placed a few months ago. Even more so if the custom interior certification goes anything like the current lie-flat neo debacle.

Did you even read the post? They were asking if a couple of additional airframes being retired this year would affect charters.

I swear 767 sims feel like a myth to me, most of my IQ was in 757-4 and every cq has been 757-1. Normally I’d never care about sim numbers but those ones are something else.

Which is the one that sounds like a tired gerbil has to spin the wheel every time you takeoff?

I pretty sure that’s 757-4. I’ve been told they won’t schedule it for anyone’s 34X, 44X, 641, etc. because of how bad it is

If all goes perfectly well, the first 321neo charter ship could be in service in about 2 years.
