They never stopped. During the summer they went way down in numbers to allow instructors to go fly the line. But they are hiring 16 per week now. New hires will go directly into the 777 for the first time.

That's because no one else wants it. IRO flying (not FO- no takeoffs or landings-can't log it as PIC or SIC), reserve, 16 hour legs, overnights in Deli and Tel Aviv. No thanks. I'd like to fly it someday, but I'm avoiding it for now.

Where are you building time to go to as a 777 guy?
Besides, think you're wrong about logging SIC... Rq'd crew member, sole manipulator of the controls...

I was told, "expect a call in 2-3 weeks" but that was back in Feb
Three internal recs from: CLE, IAH and EWR.... but I guess I need to send a bottle of Glenfiddich to the right person down in Texas?
Like they say: patience is a virtue or at least that is what I think they say

And I could care less if I ever get another landing. I quit logging flight time over a decade ago.
