Default Those poor Airbus pilots...

All the T-tail drivers are shedding a tear for the suffering of the 320 crews. Saw this nugget in the crew resources update for the September bid period:

"We limited 320 FDPs to no more than 3 legs per day in most cases."

With 8.5 hours of block in 3 different airplanes. And probably a landing in your WOCL. Into a 12 hour layover.

I scored 9:12 block on one of those easy 3 leg days a few weeks ago.

Right! I start getting antsy when I see a layover that isn't at least 22 hours.
