I’ve been here over 5 years. I bid the 756 in training and it was great. Reserve in EWR wasn’t awful. Everything was commutable and we never had to worry about covering LGA. I was on reserve about 18 months. Only this year did I switch to the Bus, and that was because ORD (my home) on the 756 was becoming ubër senior with wave after wave of guppy refugees. Otherwise, loved the airplane(s) and variety.
My point here is if you’ve got a Midwest/East coast guy who’s going to commute anyway, maybe the 756 isn’t a bad call. I can’t imagine you’d be stuck in SFO very long before you could transfer to EWR.

Sfo756 does none of that flying. They’ll be doing redeye transcons to EWR 90% of the time. I wouldn’t touch it as a new hire either.

Try re-reading the 2nd paragraph I wrote. I understand the SFO flying sucks. If they’re thinking they’d like to end up in EWR, it’s not a bad gig at all.

So you’re telling me this kid is more qualified than a career mil guy who just isn’t current?

No, and there’s no point losing sleep over this. Also a high-ish timer when hired here. The company hires plenty of retired mil, 10-15k+ hr regional people, etc. Every single company also takes some low time, young pilots. The only thing we can hope is they vet them well.

Here we go with the 23 year old versus military buddy who hasn’t gotten called.
It’s been beaten to death, its out of our internet Keyboard control . Hopefully your friend gets a call soon for those who didn’t .
To the 23 year old man I am jealous and envious . Congrats and enjoy the ride .

How many times should we beat this dead horse. At this point the poor horse is a skeleton that is damn near powder.
