411A It must be hard being so perfect. You are obviously showing your age. I have been in aviation 35 years and I can just about remember 7 day layovers!! Things have changed a lot since you were on the line. Nowadays as soon as you land somewhere,someone in your company is working overtime to get you out of that place as quickly as possible,even if it means positioning you half way around the world to save a few bucks.

The only time I ever get a 3day layover is in places like KHI and JED and that is only because it is too difficult to come in as crew and position out.

As for your suggestion that we tell crewing what we prefer. What a joke . It might have worked years ago when airlines were small and personal,but now we are just numbers and we get what the computer gives us.
