There is no "757/767" type. There is a "B757" type and a "B767" type. If you earn either of them they put them both on your certificate. It looks like this: "B-757; B-767;" I have no idea why they don't list it as one type rating since they issue them both.

 

Interview date of Jan 6! Anyone have a current gouge? The most current I could find is from June. Has it changed much since then? I have no previous jet or turboprop experience; how much should I expect to know about a turbojet and how it works? Also, I would really love to stay on the west coast. Anything remotely junior west of SLC? Thanks for any and all info!

 

airlineinterviews has some up to date, few friends who just interviewed just it is still systems heavy, know electrical, fuel systems for your most recent twin, turbine was somewhat in depth...I hear most people still go to ORD/MSP, DEN and COS are the next and a few people get LAX after a few monthes but I guess SEA is opening up as well.

 

don't forget ERJ SFO has new hires as well.

 

Who will be on reserve, well forever. Enjoy being the ragdoll playtoy for the SS underlings, they get off on telling crybaby pilots what to do....
Anybody dumb enough to bid/choose the ERJ for a newhire position will regret it for a long time. So instead of being on the CRJ hooptie and getting a line quicker the SJS victim will be in the unenviable position of being the SS playtoy for a long time.

 

new hires in ohare holding lines for the past 6 months are telling the story very differently. but sure!

 

I think he is referring to ERJ SFO specifically, which, is significantly more senior than ORD in both airplanes.

 

And when they start sliding backwards because the current senior guys start looking at the lines, and thinking, hmmmmn, them lines look pretty tasty, think I will get me some, and bid the ERJ. This is how it has been at SKYW, if not every airline out there when a new airframe hits the certificate. Junior guys go whoohoo! Instant seniority, right up to the point where the guys who have been around awhile and have seen how SKYW operates, wait and see how it shapes up.
Reading how the "new guys" have all these "new" ideas on how to revamp upgrades and "fix" the problem(them being junior), and redesign the industry. Sorry sport, six months ain't nothin" I have farts that last longer, this is an endurance game, and if .005% of the stuff posted here and on other forums are what ya'all truly believe, you are in the perfect position to have the wool pulled right down over your eyes, and the ball gag cinched up nice and tight, just like it has been for the last 2 generations of pilots. The espousing of Ayn Rand and "Free Market Economics" makes Jonny O. ,Hulas and J.Smallsack as well as the rest of the industry execs, get mini-chubbies.
