Not sure how this relates to what is the best fleet at the moment, but checking open time for the rest of the month for both left and right seats-Boeing has a total of 8 trips in open time and the 'bus has 34. Could this help explain why there are pilots bumping up on max hours on the Airbus, but haven't heard too much of it on the Boeing? With that much open time available on the 'bus, max hours, calls on days off, etc. may be a way of life. Or do the Boeing guys love flying so much they volunteer en masse to fly on days off and it results in little or no open time?
