HI,
I posted these questioins on the wannabes page and didn't get a respnse to my questions. I appriciate your responses.
"SO...
I'm wondering about what CX's flying really does to a persons sleeping habits? How much of your life are you being "turned upside down" so to speak concerning flying at night and time changes and so on. I'm at a small US regional and even flying through two time zones is noticable when I'm on the wrong side of the time line for a 6 am show time.
Is it just something that isn't really that bad, or is it really that bad but everyone just deals with it? I guess what I'm really asking is how often are you fatigued?
Yes we all know how smart you are that 'if you're fatigued you shouldn't be flying.' This I know and it is 100% true. But the question is concerning how tough CX flying is on your sleeping habits not whether you should be flying fatigued or not.
Part two,
I'm a young pilot with roughly 2000+ hrs TT. About 1400 of it is sic in a regional jet. I'm hoping to get on with CX as a DESO. I've heard many ask but haven't heard a good answer; when should I expect a call?
Also my wife and I are looking forward to moving to Hong Kong for the three years (or so I've been told) and then we would like to return to the states,our family ,and hopfully be based out of SAN or LAX.
Am I dreaming? Does it work this way or will it be tough for me to get back to a US base after I've started up in HK? I really apprieciate your responses."
