And the plane should be fixed within 3-4 days, unless it's on of the 7-10 day repairs.
Has that happened to you?
What is the major difference from being a B737 captain and a B777, A380 or B787 captain
The difference might be the attitude the DECs arrive with. If the trainee puts in the effort and continues after check to line, it is different to, but no more difficult than, medium haul. Millions of pilots do it successfully and easily. It's not difficult. The hard parts are staying awake and dealing
for hours and hours with some of the numpties they're now hiring.
