3/4 pilot crew, meals, rest breaks.......doesn’t get any better than that! International really is a different operation than domestic.

You guys need to cut this shiza out. My memory is just short enough to have begun forgetting how terrible I felt when returning from an international trip and swearing I was done with time zones.

I've had my share of NB pain but from a macro level I've had it extremely good on the NB. In addition, my body clock loves driving the redneck rocket around the eastern time zone with an occasional foray west of the Mississippi. When I finally do get displaced my next plane will be a tough decision. I guess the beauty of an MD is no seat lock so I feel like I'll be able to gamble a little and if I don't like the bed I made, I can just change it.

International is brutal, especially 4 pilot ops. Those 6 leg days, never leaving the plane would wipe me out.

Takeoff Leg
Eating Leg
Rest Leg
Cruise Leg
Rest Leg
Landing Leg

How do you guys do it?

Eating and sleeping within one or two time zones is a treat after a few months of international. It seems no matter which ocean you cross or which direction you fly, there is always an extra meal in the day. A nice feature of the 7ER category is you can fly a mix of both domestic and international.

Trust me, I got my fill of domestic all nighters as a commuter out of Seattle way back when. Now, I get to fly out of where I live......and take a nap doing it!!! I will never go back to domestic.

That’s why so many of the LAX 717s bid to the 320. The west coast bubble is nice and easy on the body. With the 73N and 7ER being red eye machines from LA, everyone is hoping that they’ll get to keep bouncing up and down the coast on the bus.

Yep. LAX 320 A plug isn't that far below the 7ER plug. A junior line holding LAX 73N A, wouldn't have made the plug on the LAX 320 A. That says a lot about QOL expectations. That could change with the 321NEO, it will be a great redeye machine like the -800 , -900 and 757.
