I saw the same thing when I checked out as F/O on the 757/767 in 1989. All the Capt.s were coming off the 727, and had never seen glass, so they flew it just like a 727, in raw data, all the time, oh, and they never touched the FMS, the'd just point at me and say, "Load that for me, wouldja?"

Well, I wish you luck. The sad truth is, Sh!t rolls downhill... There are 15 767 Capt.s senior to me on the ATL 767 Domestic. Each and every one of them could (and may) MD to the 777A in ATL. That will push me down 15 places, while pushing 15 off the bottom. Those bottom 15 will cascade down into other categorys, and push more out the bottom, all the way down to the 717.
That category may be entirely filled by MD's. At least they won't be seat locked for 24 mo.

At least the bids will be coming more frequently... oh wait.

Yo, A380... I'm really happy for you and Imma let you finish, but the 787 had one of the biggest delays on active service of all time.. OF ALL TIME!

DL looks like freaking geniuses for deferring those orders. Apparently it's going to be another 4-6 weeks before even test flights are allowed.

Then once it comes back,
I'm sure the blogs of Airbus vs Boeing where the pro Boeing guys had a lot of laughs at the Airbus A380 are probably rather quiet right now, no?

Ya know, I wondered the same thing. I went to college in Troy and know exactly where that place is. In fact, drove past it this summer between vacations. It it literally the worst location in the "Capital District Region" to be - you could be in downtown Schenectady (same drive time), which is a (a) nicer college town and (b) nicer downtown from I remember. Shoot - put us by the Mall near the airport where I stayed with COEX - at least we could walk across the parking lot to the mall and get something to eat.
The worse is PHF, I saw a 9 hour overnight there with a drive from PHF to Hampton for the overnight. That's 20 miles each way and WITHOUT traffic about 30 minute drive. On a 9:14 overnight. ?????????
"Well it's downtown Hampton, we had to find a downtown somewhere. We just can't stay next to the airport just because it's the biggest mall and commercial district on the east side of the State." But yet Troy in Albany?
I think it's time to fire up some FCRs. I feel like I haven't been ignored all weekend, so let me submit these things and get my "who cares what you think" cup filled and ignored.

Dude no kidding. It's nice around the airport, but we drive 10 miles away to nothing really.
