The 765 is Delta speak for the 767-400, very nearly all intl. The 7ER is the 767-300 intl, 767-300 domestic and 757 flying. A 765 pilot cannot pick up 7ER trips.

They are different categories all together. In fact, Delta will not allow pick ups between 767 and 7ER categories despite the fact the trip might be flown on the exact same airplane. This is to protect the pilots in category and allow pick up, or assignment, of their premium flying opportunities.

You do realize Delta treats these 767's as completely different airplanes, right?

Two questions for any AE bidding gurus,
1.) Whats the deal with the 765 and 7ER category in NYC, it appears as both categories do the same type of flying?
(Checked out 765 lines and had a lot of international flying in it)
2.) I know it depends on the specific needs of each category, but at what percentile would you put down as a bid preference if you wanted to be between a line holder and a reserve pilot, i.e. a senior reserve pilot? I know this probably varies, but I was thinking somewhere around the 70% mark should be good.

Nope 88, heard the 73 flying isn't the greatest, lots of red eyes apparently, never looked closely at it though.
Prefer to be senior reserve guy in between holding a line at best, was looking at VD or MD to 7er near 65% possibly, still pretty junior but you never know with these bids.

Anyone use Chrome as their browser? I use it mostly, but it does not play nice with iCrew. Any suggestions? I use Firefox and iCrewmax since Chrome doesn't play nice.

Three hour commute. Pict the poison:
- MSP has 20 to 24 flights a day to NYC
- MSP has 16 to 17 flights a day to ATL
- ATL is very senior and getting more so
- NYC is fairly junior

I'd agree if the person was senior. Below around 50% senority in base, I'm guessing going to be a lot of uncommutable domestic trips (ie, 0600 show in LGA, check-out at 2215 at LGA) or reserve. And the cheapest, decent hotels (nothing fancy, I'm talking 5 Towns or Sunrise) is in the $120 a night.
