Is the B737 MV/LOEs allowed to go all NG without having to see the NG and -500 every time to the School House??

The rest get to skate through on the 800 sim.

I actually had a training captain (can't remember what you guys call it - the guy who gave us our check at the end of training) tell me this was "the most advanced cockpit other than the 787". He IMMEDIATELY lost any and all credibility he might have had when he uttered those words.
I still can't imagine anyone with a brain buying new airplanes and then turning the EFIS into steam gauges. I for one can't wait to get out of this little POS.

Are you f-ing serious?!?! This NG package is the WORST EFIS I've ever seen! I thought only SWA had it, and now I hear even they don't use it anymore. I prefer the -500 half-a$$ glass over this crap. At least it has a speed tape, for God's sake.

Holding out for the Q400 or the E145?

B737 MV/LOE can be done solely in the NG sim. Not required to touch the -500 sim at all.

Obviously a L-UAL returning furloughee calling it a "guppy". Seems as though the only ones in the industry that call it that are the UAL guys. You guys use that term like it's Kleenex, Coke, or Xerox. It's not exactly the industry name for it, just y'all's, just so you know. Welcome back to flying, btw, now quit griping about the avionics.
