I see what you're saying, however on the other side of the coin...I chose the 756 six months ago for quite a few reasons. I wanted to fly International, wanted to fly the 75/76, better pay year two without having to wait for a bid and go through re-training, was able to drive to EWR and after a few months was able to bid IAD, and even though I'm on reserve I have only been flying MAYBE every 2-3 weeks. So I think it depends on the situation. It has worked out absolutely wonderfully for me

And there's no stupid name like guppy or fifi. You can just call it a 757 or 767. Well played.

You mean a "five-seven" or "sixty-seven" if you're talking with a legacy United crew or a "seven-five-six" with a CoBro ;-)
