Trust me, you will be flying getting blocking hours though, no shortage of that here on the 747 or 777.

I’ve flown with crews where it took the three of us to convince the new guy to take the landing.
The currency info on the flightplan is just that, informational. It’s not a MUST.
” Hi I know I don’t expire but I’m new and I’d like to throw my hat in the ring for a landing” or any friendly variation thereof and you’ll be surprised how many more senior FO’s are willing to let you take the leg.
If the Capt takes the leg volunteer to take the PM seat and don’t go checking out in the 4th seat.
I’ve done 33-40 landings a year out of approximately 110-120 legs.

Definitely a difference in maintaining currency vs proficiency. Not hard to get up front as we are seeing a lot more seagulls while they wait for their next gig, etc, etc, etc.
I would remember to bring rocks with me, but I like flying- especially on the long legs vs the paperwork
call me lazy right there. Captain usually takes the leg when I volunteer too fast 😞, but having all the good equipment makes it stupid easy - Half deaf from when we didn’t have it…
