The 777 is hardly immune from multi-leg duty periods and hub-turns. Certainly not to the same extent as the domestic bubbas but if you’re junior, you won’t avoid them all the time.
This is great! While the thread is on the subject, could y'all expand on some of these duty sequences? What times do these legs operate? What are some examples of typical "hub turn" pairings?
Anyone care to chime in with what they consider the most challenging pairings on the different aircraft types?
I went to a job fair a while back, one of the recruiters was like, "are you sure you want this job?? Do you know how rough our schedules are?!?"
I'm at one of the ULCCs where we do some pretty nutty red-eye work. I frequently wonder how much worse it could possibly be flying boxes.... At least there would be quieter; no medical emergencies or drunken brawls in the back of the plane.
Thanks!
