But even once you become FO, you still have cruise relief duties. You can expect about 300 landings over 10 years (thats according to their math).
Thank you, well It’s long Haul, sounds reasonable 300 landing over 10years, which means 30 per year. Anyway I don’t speak German, I have no chance to get called for an assessment
