Don't forget the 737-800, and it used to be the 737-300 as well but those are all parked now. Must be interesting going from steam gauge to glass every other leg

"While there is no plan to hire at this point in time, we will not backfill all the positions that may be vacated from the 777, 7ER, or 767 categories during the award process."

Take it for what it's worth.
I wonder how many times BB gets asked about hiring.

Very easy. CAL has the glass set to duplicate steam guages instead of displaying speed and altimeter tapes. At least according to my CAL buddies.

And that's how they make it work by drawing round dials with the nice screens:



Blah.

You know what else CAL does? 3 man 737 flights.

That gives me a headache even worse than the POS 737 cockpit does now.

What's your seniority? I'm willing to be the most junior ATL 330 wont reach into the 9000s.

I'm sitting in the upper 10,800s.....

Nothing like checking my schedule at 2:30 on my last x-day to see long call only to check it right now and see an un-commutable short call in the morning. Reserve blows at this company.

Just to rub it in, it's the 15th, and I'm sitting my first short call of the month tomorrow.

Only flown a 3 day trip last week, too....albeit with the legendary "pack man."
