AirFranz: I began flying two-engine turbofans in 1985, after flying some twin- and four-engine turboprops for a few years. Turbofans mostly consist of 100-122 seat planes
, along with a few years in the 757-200
. The 757 training program left quite "a bad taste in my mouth" (back then, no training equipment except for very rushed tng. periods at 0600 in fixed-base sim...
). Lower budget managers were apparently in control.
Thanks for the thoughtful replies. I'll one day go to the Airbus (flying mostly 100, and some 194-seat turbofans since '85), but can't give up most of my seniority yet on the other basic narrowbody plane. Our Airbus trips seem to consist mostly of 4- and 5-day trips, instead of lots of 3- with some 2-day trips.
Hasta luego(sollte mir die Wettervorhersage anschauen).
