Memorize the profiles, fly the way they want you to and you will succeed. That is what I have been told by those who are expats.
The out and backs are what is crazy about the schedule. I would rather have 4 leg days and get 5 or more hours per day than do two 1 hour legs, which is what they had on the 737. I want to get my 20 hours or so per week done in 3 or 4 days, not 5. But that is not the way they see it so that's what you have. The consecutive days is a plus, I think they have had to adapt the schedule to the market. There are far more guys willing to fly a commuter style contract than an in-country contract. It does sound like Asiana has made some positive changes. Good luck and keep us posted.

Figured out who you worked for after I pressed submit Cactus Mike! Just did a PHX turn and am in DFW for the night. As we were taxiing to 25R my FO commented on what a raw deal you're getting from your counterparts. Anyways, best of luck to you. I'll keep posting on here to give others info on Asiana before and during my move over there. Asiana's screening a few of the F9 guys next month, so I think if enough of us get over there, maybe we can talk them into some sort of trip trading or something. Thanks for the post!
