Secondly, are you able to find enough time to do laundry, and take care of yourself during such a long tour?
Thanks for any info. I have been reading this thread, and found it fairly informative.
There is no such thing as a typical day or rotation. The only thing you can count on is change. I’ve had rotations with 80 hours, I’ve had some with 25. XL fleet is the largest and likely busiest. The hotel department is very helpful when you need to do laundry, although most hotels have it anyway. Plan to attempt to do laundry a couple days before it’s urgent.
