That's where we differ in that the 757 was considered narrow body even though it was the highest paying narrow body. I'll grant you that if considering the domestic 767/757 seats as widebody, then yeap they have probably tripled. 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.

Going to the 737? I wouldn't bother with a study guide.
Week 1- LOD LOD LOD LOD, and learn your flows and normal profiles... oh, and LOD. Know it cold. The answers are spelled out in it. Try to come in day 1 with it pretty much already down and it is a breeze. They have a recommended flows packet to help the fNWA guys that are used to defined flows. They are efficient- I do all of those except the after landing where I do a modified 75/76 flow.
Week 2- just flows and profiles. Here's your gouge for autoland: "flare armed." For HGS AIII- "AIII on the right." "Flare alive."
After that it's just the usual manuevers stuff.
There's your gouge.

Fig's extremely comprehensive study guide has everything you could possibly want to know about the 737, but its a waste of time, imho, to look at it during training. You'll end up spending way too much time learning stuff you don't need to know. If you want to know all that stuff, download the document, put it on your computer and open it up six months after you've been flying the jet.

ACL, got to admire your optimism, but you're going to do some serious brainwashing get north guys to take the whale of their pref, especially due to how low it went this time. I have no rational reason to want to fly that airplane, but want it I do, and when 10400 gets his whale, i plan to be right behind him. 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.

It looks like 15 people senior to me came to the NY 73 and 9 left. I put in a 70% qualifier so I hope I end up with a line. Let me echo the reasons why the ER is going junior. Reserve is starting to blow. It used to be a good deal but now it stinks. So I'll take the $2 pay cut and make it up by having a line of more than 70 hours.
Met a guy named Fig in ATL who says he publishes a 73 study guide. Can anyone vouch for this?

Someone mentioned it earlier, but why would they understaff the MSPm88 and overstaff the the MSP7ER?
If my calculations are correct it looks like these were added to the MSP lineup:
MSPm88B (36 pilots)
MSP7ERB (85 pilots)
The 22D2 Report off this bid called for:
MSPm88B (194 pilots)
MSP7ERB (228 pilots)
The AE was calling for
MSPm88B (74 vacancies)
MSP7ERB (20 vacancies)
Just seems a little skewed to overstaff one aircraft while understaffing another. Do you guys think this was intentional so as to keep from having staffing issues on the 7ER. I know the ER is typically staffed alot higher than the aircraft categories given relief pilot positions, but still seems like the M88 is going to struggle to make the schedule.
I guess they can plan on offloading some of the MSP flying onto the other bases and deal with it until new hires are brought on board. Should be a good couple of months to GS for the m88.

That's where we differ in that the 757 was considered narrow body even though it was the highest paying narrow body. I'll grant you that if considering the domestic 767/757 seats as widebody, then yeap they have probably tripled. 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.
