Geez, was that necessary? What short hops is the NEO flying, except for repositioning legs?? I think the shortest NEO flight I have flown is JFK - SLC....Why the hate anyway? Are we not allowed to be excited about some upcoming flying that we've never had before on the fleet?

What is 757 good flying? Hawaii that was removed a year ago? And the ER isn’t going away for years so there’s no sense in getting rilled up about what airplanes do what routes. Why are 330’s and 350’s doing ATL-DTW/LAX-ATL/LAX-JFK? I’m curious do you tell those guys too that they are wasting the company money?
The 320 guys and their constant need to talk about how to network the airline is hilarious. Then they close the door and realize they are flying their Neo LAX-SLC grumbling under their breath how they should be flying to Dublin and Keflavik, not that cheap ass 767!!!
Point is - time to move on! You guys hold onto the 7ER guys thoughts so much that you don’t even realize that you are turning into the same annoying pilots as them. Just flying an airbus.

The next bit was about a jumpseater complaining. It resembles your complaints about 320 pilots. I don’t know if you’ve got a mouthful of sour grapes or what, but why pick a fight with a whole subsection of the pilot group?
We deal with with the 4th floors decisions, and having more planes at a higher rate should be the goal for the entire group.

Did you read what you quoted? The point was, it’s good the NEO matched the pay rate because it’s going to be a lot of planes doing that flying and not for less money than a 75. I didn’t see a single 320 pilot directing network on how to use the airframes in that post.

It’s really not that deep. the post I literally responded to was sour grapes and I’m asking what the JS complained about.

And there will be more short hops. Flying that was on ATRs and/or CRJ200s noy too long ago will have a 757 coming to town. ATL-BHM 757 service coming soon. Everyone says the 757 is a blast to fly. Good news, there will be alot of opportunities for hand flying that powerful jet
