*CAUTION SELF GLOSS THREAD*
Well, I have to say goodbye to a beloved aircraft I have flown nearly 2000 hours... On Friday I will have my very last flight on a Boeing 737 forever
It makes me sad! I felt so safe and well protected in there, had some nice approaches but as well some tough ones... But I had a GREAT time so far... Now its time to say goodbye...

Congrats Phil, Moving from one great aircraft to another.

Quoting Leezyjet (Reply 14): Are you sure it is forever, you never know where you will end up in future Wink
Yes, it will be forever! If everything works out perfectly I will be on 744/748 in 3 years and then several more years until I can upgrade to captain, but this wont happen on B737... until then we dont have them anymore in the fleet

Quoting LVHGEL (Reply 17): Congrats sir, on a funny side, in a cargo plane, Do you greet the cargo when it's beeing unloaded?
Sure, I will stand at the cargo door and welcoming every piece of cargo personally Thats what we call service! And of course, reaching the cruising altitute we will switch off the seat belt signs (no kidding)
