When I see a 787, I have to double check that I am not looking at a 767. I always check to see the weird shaped engines to make sure I am on the right plane.

Both pay the same

It's all about the money boys and girls
If you feel bigger by flying the whale then go to Kallita and upgrade in a year or so for new hire wages

Almost. It's about the whole package and if flying the airplane one desires fits into the package then it's a double bonus.

You are correct about the pay and that is why I left the 400. Unfortunately the fleet is dying along with the reliability.

But for myself, the 400 is a much better and more enjoyable plane to fly. That is what this thread is about.

Wouldn't go to Connie to fly it. At UAL, don't miss the 400 if you have a chance to fly it.

I've flown it at Connie : ), it's a sweet ride, though I will take the 400 over the Classic , they are in a dead heat with my beloved DC-3, Life is more than money, thank God !!! Cheers out !!!
