Hey, that's not fair. Our primary purpose in flight planning is to determine the fuel load, and we change it probably 1/3 to 1/2 the time. Otherwise, why would we even look at the weather? It's not like we ever decide not to go because it's raining/snowing/windy etc., like when I was flying Cessnas around.

To answer the second question, I haven't ever actually flown NRT-SFO, although I've flown NRT-JFK and NRT-TPE a number of times. Last night was my last 777 trip (returning from LHR), and I start 757/767 training tomorrow.

So Mark, two quetions:

1) What aircraft are you trained on?

2) What prompted you to go to the 757/67 from the 777?

3) (Ok, three questions) Does that mean once you complete 57/67 training that you are still allowed to fly 777 aircraft, or do they limit/stop that?
