76/75 or 7ER guys...
Anyone know if the LuggageWorks 107NG International 26" bag (vice the typical 22" bag) works in the 767 or 7ER? I pack like a chick and am attempting to squeeze my Steve Madden white loafers in the bag to match my Lagerfeld day suit and my Armani full-length Siberian otter pelt coat in my carry-on (for the cold Moscow February).
Thanks...

The big bags work fine on the ER...plenty of room for them in the cockpit or the closet. Your problem will be commuting/deadheading with the tall bag. You'll take up most of an overhead with it if you can't throw it in the cargo bin downstairs.

btw....it was snowing in Moscow just a couple days ago so you'll definitely want to pack a coat (and hat and gloves)!

Also, now that we're getting a 777 base in NYC, expect more movement on the ER....you guys might not be on reserve as long as you think.

The 777 is a funny animal as far as bidding. It won't cause as much movement in NYC as you might think because pilots will bid in from all over the place and commute to the 777.

CVG is getting a 73N base, and I hear NYC is losing their 73N base. This was talked about a lot about a year ago, but never happened. I think it's going to happen now.

Listen to the codaphone....NYC is not losing its 737 base...the 737 hours to create the LAX and CVG 737 flying is coming mostly from ATL and some from SLC, and the time will come back when the 737-700s arrive.

I think the 8+ 777s we're getting in the near future are going to have a huge affect on staffing no matter where you sit on the list.

I just listened to the code-a-phone. That's different information than I heard in a lounge show just last week.

As far as 777s on movement, I never said they would not create movement on the total list. They will. I did say, and I stand by, you can't predict how much movement a new 777 category in NYC will cause for NYC. Every new 777 captain could come from a current NYC category, or every one of them could come from somewhere else. A posting of 30 777 captains in NYC (just using 30 as an example) does not mean that you will get 30 777 captains worth of movement in NYC.

That's true....too many &%^ commuters here in NYC... make room for us locals dammit! ;)

Just read the info on the 767 Crew Rest Module....(bunks for 12+ hr flights). Sounds like they did a decent job on it.

I've read the bulletin about the new bunks, but I'd like to see a picture or sketch. Are there any out there?

i looked on dalnet...couldn't find any.

So LAX is getting the 737, is this for certain? Will it go fairly junior? How junior is LAX 767/757?

Once the flood of ER new hires make it to NYC, the current ER pilots should be off reserve. There have been 30+ new hires on the ER beginning with the 8/20 class. More new hire ERs expected in upcoming classes.

What's better, holding a junior line with Ireland and Africa or sitting reserve and working the "rolling thunder"?
