The 757-200 is a sweetheart compared to the newer 737s like the 737-900ER or MAX9.

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.

We don’t know that yet, the attorneys have not had a chance to diagnosis injuries yet. Probably dozens of pax’s with debilitating long term injuries.
So true, attorneys diagnosing injuries instead of doctors.

Why do y'all think the plane is a write-off? The pics look like a few tire changes and quick landing gear wash and she's good to go....


I’m Guessing you missed all the bent medal around the nose gear...

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