Training Module pays 1 hour for 5 hours of your life. So we will probably only hire 600 in the next 5 years.

I'll put money on the fact that AQP/CQ whatever modules are not the first place accurate manpower forecasts are posted...

I’d say that’s extremly conservative. That’s an average of only 600 a year and we’re retiring 400 a year.

I believe UA (21), Condor (15), Thomas Cook (5) Icelandair (1) and Arkia (2) are the RR 757-300 operators. Delta is the only PW operator.

I'm guessing the PW vs Rolls engines really doesn't matter much. We still have both.

Why even publish a 5 yr hiring target.... seems to only set the table for error. Hope it’s 5000!

It takes, roughly, 86hrs of WB FO to get to 73hrs (reserve guar) of LNB CA pay.

FWIW, I looked at my 10/16 pay stub and I have 1,001 hours of pay (regular earnings) for the year so far. That range of work is actually from Dec of 16 to Sept of 17, though, since we are paid in arrears. FWIW my block for the same 10 month period was 646 hours. Probably more flying than some fleets, but it's not exactly busting ass.

I don't doubt it's unhealthy. There isn't any type of flying we do long term that is healthy.

Fortunately (or unfortunately depending how one looks at it), there's a lot more domestic (and almost all daylight/no time zone issues) flying coming to the 777 these days. You don't have to cross the pole unless you are so inclined to.
