Not everyone must groupthink the same. Some guys fly the 777 or 765 and bid reserve and rarely if ever fly, except the sim every 90 days. Others cannot conceive of doing that.

I think that quote applies to M88B.

I never flew the 88. I have jumpseated tho. Ive noticed that guys that flew the 88, with very few exceptions, have a twitch. It can be physical or mental. It is noticeable.:D

They voluntarily downbid. Big difference.

The original poster said he didn't notice anybody complaining about a lack of upgrades. I hear lots of people complaining about stagnation, or worse, regression.
