757s! Awesome.
You guys are asking where from and commonality, etc. I stand by my post on another thread that they will come from Delta and Northwest AFTER they merge and dump the 757s. Psssstttt.....they're all Pratt powered!!!
Sine the press release said the the 757s would REPLACE the 727s, how will this affect staffing? Going from approx. 110 three crew 727s to 90 two crew 757s has to have an impact on future staffing needs.
FWIW, if the new TA passes, I've heard it will require 400 more pilots to cover just the scheduling/rig changes. Perhaps that will offset the 2 vs 3 man crews. Although, like someone else said, it's going to be quite a few years before we see more 757s than 727s on the property.
Another upside...this should shake up the 727 seniority list...maybe motivate a few fellas to upgrade that have been staying in the seat.
Not this fella.:laugh: I'm staying until they tell me I have to leave. Someone else can have my training cycle...and my 757 raise to boot. Oh yeah that's right, same pay....nevermind.
I predict:
757 F/O...junior to 727...more work at same pay.
