Off days in a row WB: 5 to 6
That used to be the case on the 777 fleet but those are days gone by, same goes for the 330 fleet. Once upon a long time ago we used to have 8 days off in a row on that fleet.. 1 aircraft soon became more than 30 and that was the end of that, same holds true for the 777 fleet, now nearing 30 aircraft in the fleet and growing, and with the new found duty time proceedure it makes it even worse, for F/O's in particular. I fly with many guys that have greater than 100hrs in a month, try to squeeze 6 days off in a row into that.. Not a chance mate. ..
Think.

Planning a commuting lifestyle in this place is a mistake. You will only find yourself wanting to leave, or staying and hating it..

Some just learn to live with it.. And compromise


Poisoned by compromise
