    my aunt was a 737 pilot for like 20 years and moved to 787 a couple years ago thanks to the MAX groundings and she didn’t want to fly them 🫠

      Did she fix the faulty tightened fasteners herself on the 787?
      🤔😉
      777 might be a better choice. As long as it won't be the 777X, another design which has been meddled with by the MDD management.

    I like that Airbus has so much commonality with its aircraft being able to jump from the A318 to a A380 would be a the best feeling

    If money is the sole priority then generally a first year narrow body captain will make more per hour than the highest pay rate as F/O on the largest wide-body.

    The larger the plane the less takeoffs and landings on duty day means less work. It estimated hands on flying consumes 4 minutes per flight. Even the FAA worried not enough hand flying and published an Aviation Circular two years ago promoting hand flying.

    Interesting and there is one narrow body that automatically entitles you to fly a wide body the B757 to B767 basically it just needs a single Simulator for one type because they share the same cockpit. I wonder if that also applies to the Airbus A320 family to the A350 A330/A340 families

    Just so you all know my dad went from flyingthe Sabb 340 to the CRJ 900 to the 717 and now the A330 (in that order) and has flown yoked aircraft and aircraft that the yokes were linked and he could feel every thing that was going on for almost 20 years and juat switched to the A330 a few months ago and he said the tranaition was really easy

    Depends if you prefer to be away from your family long time, or return to them every day (like most short haul pilots for most low cost European carriers)

    Even if I did become a pilot, I wouldn't be allowed to fly a plane now because I got type 1 diabetes in my early 40s.
    Hypothetical scenario: A pilot going long haul on holidays is a passenger in a plane and an emergency situation happens where the flight crew becomes incapable of flying the plane. The plane is an Airbus A350 but the passenger pilot has only ever flown for Ryanair. That person happens to be the only passenger on-board with experience of flying commercial jets. How well would a pilot with only Boeing 737 experience be able to land an Airbus A350?

      747, 757 and 767 are still good. Anything developed and built before the MDD merger is fine.
      Heck, even the 727 or 707 if necessary.

    Monitoring heavy cumbersome planes require a lot of experiences and is contingent upon the pliot's flying hours and seniority.
