Life at Sabre/Excel Airways? How's it going?

[LAVDUMPER]

I remember watching Sabre 727s fly into Tenerife a few years back while on vacation. I understand that most, if not all, of the 727s have been replaced with 737-800s. My questions for Sabre/Excel pilots are:

1. What is the general morale level - positive, negative?

2. What are your schedules like (maybe give an example of a daily run start to finish)?

3. How do you like the 737-800 vs. the 727 in terms of avionics, handling qualities, workspace, etc.? Big step up or would you prefer the older version?


I hope to fly on one of your 737-800s this upcoming summer on a trip to the Med.


Thanks for the info and happy flying!
