You get close and now you’re back seating a couple of OE flights, get a flight canceled by the customer and maybe a sick or fatigue call and you’re expired.

Or as one guy did on my flight, "hey guys I'll sit middle seat, I'm trying to expire".

I always tell folks to get a landing a month whether they need it or not.

It seems that the info can be up to a week behind. YMMV

Yes but if it says it’s been 70 days since they landed it’s a starting point to figure who’s leg it should be. If they say they made landing a couple days ago ok, who wants a landing?

I’m new to this fleet, and all I can say is that it’s kind of amazing how many pilots actively try to sit 3rd or 4th seat. Not surprising that there have been so many issues with upgrades.

I agree. I mean, I don't actively look to do a landing, but I always check the other crews expirations to see who is first. If I am first or second I will try to get the landing. If not, I will let someone else have it. I doubt I will have an issue with upgrade since I have already done 5 years as a 767 captain at another airline.
