Money aside, pure lifestyle which I have brought up.

Sunrise = 23 duty hours each way (rounded up?) = 46 return.

Am I correct in that your bid period is 6 weeks? Not that one wants to fly max hours in a year but call it 800 hours allowing for sim and the current etc.

800 / 46 = 17 trips a year or in your 6 weeks a maximum of 3 trips.

Now is each trip is 6 days, that’s 18 days duty for 6 weeks. Would that not be enough recovery time between trips? You could become a marathon runner with the time off or an alcoholic down the local, personal choice.

Yes would also have to factor in additional sims for landing currency.

What am I missing? Yes brutal time zone changes, jet lag. However work 18 days in 6 weeks?

I have probably over simplified. Now ducking for cover.

Oh would you not fight fo say it’s sunrise flying only, no other Asia trips, etc?
