I'd recommend sticking with the 320 or 737 unless you like sitting in the jump seat every trip and never touching the yoke until landing class once every 120 days… :cool:

Yeah why would anyone want to have majority of their trips commutable, layover in europe, get paid to kick back and watch movies and nap.. :confused: sounds terrible :rolleyes:
Guess why thats wide body FO has been going so junior these last few bids.
Welcome aboard !

wouldn't surprise me if we saw a good number of new hire slots going to the 756 over then coming months, as they have been making sure they keep the current pilots in the fleet during the transition from 76T to 756.

So, I believe there are a good number of 767 First Officers (whether 756 or 76t) that are waiting for training out of the fleet going up to the 777,787,747 or even Cap seats.

Being a professional bunkie isn't a bad gig when you have a couple years experience on a fleet and NOT on probation. Each his own I guess… being on special monitoring on probation doesn't sound like a great deal.

Not the case in EWR. I've been here almost 10 months and I fly at lest 50% of trips. Come on over its great.

What is this special monitoring you speak of? Is that like double super secret probation?!?
