Airline aircraft type, does it matter which you fly?

I actually didn't realize that.

Thank you for bringing that to my attention. Sorry if I offended anyone.

Just sayin'.

Is "the G word" really, legitimately, a serious offensive term? Or we're you just pulling his leg?

Maybe it's just me, but I'd prefer starting training on an aircraft with a clean slate... No previous flows and that sort of thing to get in the way.

Agreed. I've flown the 767 now for two different airlines, and the transition to the second one was a pain. Had to relearn all the flows and callouts, and I still get stuff backwards from time to time.

I still mash on the quick disconnect—I mean, the AP/Trim/Pusher disconnect button a few times to make sure the thing is really off at 200'.

Question for the airline crowd. Let's say that in a handful of years I want to go fly for an airline that operates E190s, such as Jet Blue, Airways or similar. Would going to an airline that only operates CRJs be a bad thing? Would having the 170/190 type matter much in the hiring process down the line? I know with corporate, type rating is almost everything, but I'm honestly not sure how the airlines work when it comes to that sort of thing.

I don't know for sure but I am willing to put money on the fact that the only reason i'm at my current airline is because of the type I got at my last.
 
Having flown the same plane for two different operators, especially when tired, I find myself starting through one version of the climb flow or after landing flow and then getting briefly "lost" in the middle. I mean my hand will start moving for something in the old flow, but I catch it and move on to the new flow.
 
I hadn't flown for almost a month. I started the wrong engine first yesterday. No biggie, and the CA laughed, but that's what 7 years in one plane vs two years in the other will get ya.....

I'm struggling with that as well, I have to voice everything I do out loud. That's funny, at least I don't feel so bad!

Heck just remembering to switch over to tower is a mind struggle for me right now, I spent the last half decade having someone else do it for me.

One of my good friends is married to a girl named Ginger. I had no idea I was offending her when I called her name!! ;)
