Not a pay your dues thing, just not the best place to put a NH IMHO.
Hope you have a great 4th of July!!!’

At the time is was about the training footprint. The wide body transition training courses assumed some Boeing and FMC knowledge that the typical new person may or may not have. Rather than go through the lengthy and and expensive process of amending the training footprints, the best course of action seemed to be no new folks on those fleets. I’m not saying it was good or bad, just the way it was. Hell of a nice problem to be having....

Must be my superior airmanship and chest hair.
It’ll be interesting to see what the company and the Union do when this becomes a thing, and I think it will sooner rather than later.
