Do the FO's have to go back to sim a lot for the 3 bounces every 90 days or is there enough rotation between flying pilot & cruise pilot to avoid that? Thanks guys!
Yeah, you log all the time. Some foreign carriers only credit some of your P3(IRO) time, if you're looking for a gig in the sand box, but you're a required crewmember from block out to block in. Crew scheduling usually rotates the flying amongst the FOs, but if someone needs a landing, or wants a certain leg you can arrange to switch things up. Rarely will someone have to go back to the sim for landings, but it happens from time to time.
