So are you willing to spend a $100-$200 more per ticket to allow airlines to fly around empty airplanes to all the airports they fly to so that pilots can build up what you consider sufficient hours in a given aircraft landing at given airports?

That`s how they train bus drivers in Oakland, California yup

on first trips in a new bus they hardly know how to drive. yupo

. 777 appears to be nothing but a big BUS with a couple bus drivers- ,

That`s why they call these jumbos AIRBUS

C'mon now. You really think that's the only option to fly empty 777s as a dry run? If so, there would be many more crashes.
