Programming an aircraft to effectively recover itself has even been discussed at a “philosophical level,” though Boeing’s mantra remains to leave the pilot in charge, he said. Note that is not air buses mantra. That said, the best description I've heard is that a Boeing is an airplane with a computer while an Airbus is a computer with wings. Still, I enjoy using a joystick and not having some big thing between my legs. No wait. That's not what I meant!!!! |

A local 777 F/O that could hold 737 captain in NYC. If he got a SLI gig teaching the 777, would he get paid 737 CA rates? And anyone with an opinion about whether it's worth the extra work for someone that did not have to commute?

You could also do additional seat fillers for 5 hours each.
rate in the highest paying First Officer position he can hold. Basically, a 777 FO is still going to get 777 FO rates if he is an SLI. Captain's are no longer capped at 765A rates. I would talk to a current SLI to ascertain the "is it worth it" part of the equation. They know the good and the bad currently in play. |

You're right, the trips are good and hopefully will get better with 10 more coming on line the next three years (plus the 7 A340-600s. :D)

I'm not inclined to reveal. I've given several clues as to my seniority and background, and narrowing it down further defeats the purpose of an anonymous board. I'd hate for guys to judge me in person based on my sometimes outspoken persona here, which I don't believe is indicative of the "real life" me.
*telling mesabah to zip it in the adults discussion a clear point of agreement |

While PD and I tend to, let's say "disagree*" on most issues:D.... I respect his right to anonymity.
That said, that's the rule of the game here and I try to play by the rules (most of the time.) |

Can someone who has been there brief me in on the process for getting vacation assigned after returning from mil leave? Will I just swing by scheduling and tell them, "Hey, yeah, can you get me the following weeks off? That'd be great."

Back to the serious topics...
Did anyone else notice the comments by crew planning that they will likely be liquidating vacations for pilots going through training on this bid because they are so tight on getting training completed. That isn't ideal.. so add that to the list of changes needed for C2015. Honestly though, it is a good problem to have! #firstworldpilotproblems |
