I do not care about putting the gear down 5 times a day. Just pay me and give me a clean bed to sleep the night. Call me crazy; I have been in China the last 5 years!
FWI;
Its 0217 here in China, and I just finished a 3 day trip. Did a turn in the morning then a 1 leg at midnight. So, I think 737 flying is not a problem for me. At least this hotel had a clean bed.
HP, L-CAL guy on the 737 EWR based for 7 yrs now. Have never flown 5+legs a day. Never had on my line, when I was very junior. Don't think thats happening anywhere on the 737. Other bases and 737 folks speak up, if thats changed or changing? Don't think you will have to worry. In fact, most times in EWR is maybe 2 or 3 legs a day max. My next trip is a 13 hr two day( EWR-SNA-SFO/ then day 2 SFO-EWR) Many times, just one leg per day... This is EWR, so probably some variance with other bases, but not 5 legs a day...as the norm. Hope this helps
