It's going to take many many years to live that one down! (better than many years of fences or animosity)

When a new hire can hold the airplane, that should tell us something....
Reserve sucks - this is true, but you can not compare time to 7ERB when we had flight engineers to today. Guys would be stuck flying sideways for years back then so it took some guys years to get to Narrow Body FO - and that was under the old reserve system.

That thing is a work of art in motion compared to the unremarkable boeing and airbuss light twins out there in the market place. I'd love nothing more than to "mount" her spiral staircase and find my way to the cockpit (way up in that beotch) and drive her home all night long.

As for widebody pay, I consider the the 765,330, 777, & 747 to be more in line with what widebody pay should be. No offense meant to the pay on the 767er/767/757. I can never figure out what the er pay is anyway, can some one explain the pay diff between the er and 767/757 category or is there one? Maybe that would clear the skies for me.

Thanks.
