What would be your dream a/c, to be an airline captain on, and what routes would you want to fly your a/c on?
For me.
A380-900 LAX-SYD, MIA-DXB
747 300SP ( If their was such an a/c) LAX-PPT, HNL-SYD
737/A320 size turboprop with twin TP-400D6 ( If their was such and a/c) LAX-Baja, LAX-Reno and Island hopping in Hawaii.
May not be realistic, but those would be some of my dream jobs as an airline captain.

Dream command? NCC-1701E
Far a real world aviation command I'd go for either Air Atlantique out of Coventry on the DC-3s or at Brize Norton on VC10s.
Nothing wrong with the modern Airbus, Boeing, Embraer jets but I like the old fashioned stuff more. If we can travel in time I'll go back to the early 70s and fly Tridents out of Heathrow please.

Quoting 747400sp (Thread starter): What would be your dream a/c, to be an airline captain on, and what routes would you want to fly your a/c on?
Well for me that would be flying SYD-LAX-ATL-DXB on Delta's 777-200LR(real route) but if i could decide my self i would really like to fly the same route just on a 777-300ER!

Well, it was to fly 717s for YX...but I guess those days are over
Being a floatplane pilot for Kenmore Air would be pretty cool, though...

Quoting PGNCS (Reply 6): I'd prefer to go back to the L-1011 and fly turns. If not then the A-320 and fly turns.
Well you already got the A320 so there you go! But I do miss the old days of the tri jets especially the L1011

NCC-1701-D looked better in my view ... damn you, Troi!
I'd probably want to fly HKG-YVR, HKG-YYZ or HKG-LHR on CX's 77Ws. No real reason other than the fact that I love 777s, and YVR is my favourite city in the world, and YYZ and LHR are two cities I desperately want to visit one day.

For me, I would have to say 737-800 AA, 777-200 CO, or 787-8 UA. I love all Boeings and I would fly any of them if I had the opportunity.
