I guess I forgot to mention the 5 a/c swaps on 15 minute turns with a 3+ hour sit before your final leg to your overnight.
Haaaaaaaaaaaa, the good old days.
That's why I always bid for PDX trips, not only is OR absolutely gorgeous but they give you 30-45 minute turns and you rarely swap. It’s not hot and the rampers, gate agents & Mx personally are fantastic.
Not anymore... We've been getting those nasty 8 leg, quick turn, 12 hour days lately. I did 15 hours the other day. bleh. Nice thing is most captains here have no problem telling ops that were taking a real 45 min lunch break. haha.
