b777pilot

It appears you cannot grasp the meaning of words when used in their context.

My point, in the context I used, was that I was referring to certain pilots nearing retirement, most likely from pre-CRM days, on the B747 fleet. Not all of them are like that, to say the least.

if you don't find senior pilots on the B747, where else would you find them?

You would also find them on the B777 fleet - are you saying that IPs and SIPs are not senior pilots? Are you saying that those with the most experience on THAT FLEET are not senior?

i would dare say in any company. paycale=seniority=aircraft type.

Ah, I see your simple minded equation now. All based on money. Experience is irrelevant. I stand by my opinion, you can have yours. But when you distort my statements, I will repeat exactly what I said so that you (I hope) and the rest can see the difference.

To use your simple equation, what about direct entry F/Os, direct command Capts on the B747 - are they automatically more senior than their colleagues on other fleets?

that was a good one. you must be a riot in the cockpit! mind like a steel trap eh?

Thank you. I got you, didn't I?
