The GE engined 767s are the sportscars. Enormously powerful, and very responsive. The 744ER are quite a leap ahead of the other 744s too.Is there any aircraft in the QF fleet that is considered the "sports car" of the fleet? I'm thinking in terms of performance, "flyability" etc?
Seniority allows you to bid for a course, but it doesn't get you a passing mark.And number 2 - do the different aircraft endorsements have different levels of seniority? In other words, is a 767 captain, more senior than than a 738 captain, who is more senoir than a 734 captain? If my logic follows through, is a 380 captain more senior than a 747 captain? - Just curious while I'm sitting in the QP in Melbourne.
The A380 is nominally the most senior aircraft, but the average seniority of the people on it isn't necessarily all that high. People chose different aircraft for all sorts of reasons. The most senior are actually on the 737 and 767....because they aren't affected by the 65 retirement rule for international flying.
The 737 of all variants are considered the same aircraft, and flown by the same people.
