757, properly handled can make a pretty good noise.
How many regional pilots can REALLY meet this requirement?
- Thread starter A-300F4-622R
- Start date

A pilot that flies an under-automated aircraft in dismal weather conditions and is never late and is a much better pilot than you are.
This ought to stir the pot a little bit more

Well it's true.

That's just, like, your opinion, man
No doubt true, at least in the stick and rudder sense.
Hell, I haven't actually landed the jet in 7 weeks...just got landing current again on my recurrent PC in the sim.

I used be a freight dawg... now I fly for an airline, what does that make me?

A sellout.
Was afraid you'd say that... oh well I'll be back! Hopefully for FDX or UPS!
Am kidding. You're merely moving on up, as George Jefferson used to say.

Having spent more than a few hours in the FSI Level D 737 sim on the ERAU campus (I was the network admin there for a few years and had ample opportunity to "play" in the sim after hours), I was really impressed with how fun the 737 is to fly when you don't have to actually worry about a.) people in the back, and b.) the wings falling off. Assuming that the FSI sims accurately simulate physical stresses, it is really impressive just how maneuverable these big planes are. I think it would be a complete (although expensive... how many pounds of JP4 an hour does that thing blow through?) blast to toss a 757 around for real.
WeeeeeeeZAAAY!

Better start working out ahead of time.
Fuel burn...honestly don't remember. Sadly, our last 757 was just sold off, and it'd been over a year since I'd flown it anyway.

Yeah, it'd make a good freighter.

For sure, gotta get that coveted jet time! I feel like my stick n rudder skills are eroding away though!

Stick and rudder skills are important, no doubt. However, being a killer stick is only a fraction of the whole equation, IMO. There are plenty of outstanding stick and rudder pilots that I still wouldn't consider recommending for a job; good judgment, a professional attitude, and maturity are needed as well.
