Is any one aircraft a favorite to get? I know there are more lines on the 717, didn't know if the quality of life was better on it.
Right now the general consensus is the 737 is the way to go. I spent one month on reserve then started getting 90% commutable (maybe one or two hotel rooms a month) 13-15 day off lines. The guys on the 717 spent more time than that on reserve (though the times are falling) and seem to have far more arduous work days. I nearly plotzed when I had a day with four legs, yet that seems to be the norm for the 717 guys.
Basically, in the 717 you're waiting for senior FO's to upgrade to move up. In the 737 you move up based on aircraft deliveries. The company has halted upgrades temporarily, so that has made the short term movement in the 717 glacial. Besides, most of the good overnoghts are in the 737 (LAS, LAX, SAN, SEA, etc).
Had a jumpseater once tell me that 3 internal recs made for an interview.
Do any of you know if there's any truth to this? Also, what's the skinny on the 500 121 PIC? Flexible?
