It's like Boeing fixed all their narrowbody weaknesses back in the '80s, then forgot the lessons.
She is a sweetheart and I love flying that bird better than the 737. The problem is the UA training on the 756 is made for the transition guys, and does not accommodate new hires very well unless you come with some Heavy and Etops experiences. Then you go out on reserve for two years in the east and might not fly much cause you’re doing bunky the majority of the time. The 737 is a lesser product but you get to build a good feel of a Boeing plane by flying a lot more. I guess at the end it just depends on the caliber of Pilots we hire, some of them are great and others just need a little more work.

So true, attorneys diagnosing injuries instead of doctors.

3 or 4 bounces on a 757?!. The last 50 feet must have been interesting
