After several test flights out of KBFI and several approaches into Princess Julianna. I performed the engine out landing today... I feel real comfortable in the T7. It looks like I'll take the T7 written test in the AM and ask for the check ride, wish me luck.....

Good luck Don! I only have about 10 years til retirement and hope to stay on here til then.
In my opinion the 777 is one big boring airplane for captains in my age group and I hope to avoid it.
I hope to disappear into the night in the left seat of the L-1011.
Just my opinion you 777 guys so take it with a grain of salt,

Right on Scott!
Don... Come over to the dark side, wouldn't you like 2 engines operational instead of 1 if an engine fails?
Good luck.
Regards.

Big...yes, boring......yes, a check ride I must take.....a matter of opinion.........Since most all of the aircraft I fly are Boeings, 777 is a natural step. I do love the tri-holers, DC 10, L1011, and the mighty 727. Guys please don't look for any equipment changes any time in the near future.
I have fallen in love with the Delta "box" 757 and FSX right now.....737 online however. I am one confused pilot...he he he.
