The 747 I think will be the fleet with the most flying and most overtime for the near future with the most varied destinations and a lot of military flying. LIfestyle is the same in both, just you can and will get more hours per month and more OT possibilities on the 747 fleet side. No matter what fleet you fly the roster is the same , the pilot group is the same... although remember here you really bid days at work and days off, not where you are going.. they give trips on the bid lines but its rare to fly them. The only constant is change and by that you could see 3-4 changes per day in the upcoming days schedules.
With more 777s arriving, has this changed much in terms of hours flown and lifestyle? Are there any benefits to flying the 777 vs the 747 at Kalitta?
