[QUOTE=Airhoss;2437439]My lysdexia strikes again! Fine...NARROWBODY CA’s. Still, like you, I had a hunch it’d go more senior than people thought, but I’m still a bit surprised considering how bad the flying will be.
It's only the 1st snapshot, but who knew 20% of the 756 CA

The 777 is brutal on your body, I did it for a few years, especially with a commute home on the end. Plus if your at say 76 hours on the 777 vs being home and doing 85 hours on the 757 it's not that much of a pay difference. I loved the airplane itself, but I'd personally never go back to the 777, especially at 60 +.

The guy who did it is a UAL scab. I'm wondering if he had less than happy times out on the road.

The view out the window is the same on every airplane, except maybe the 50 year old little slits in the nose of the uber guppy. And it sits only slightly higher than the plane captain taxiing into the gate, The flying isn't the fault of the airplane, but of the scheduling airline.
Lots of Jetblue and VA guys fly 19-20 days off a month, 1 day turns. On the opposite side of the world, a lot of Asian carriers do short/medium haul on the 330/340/777/787/A380.
It ain't the jet, it is how it is scheduled. The worst scheduling is high TAFB, lots of WOCL's. The best, at least for me, is very low TAFB, and no WOCL's.
My dream job is a bunch of high time, one day trips. 100 hours TAFB. 75 hours.
