There are always instructors who like (or don’t mind) the As and Es for their own reasons. The schedulers work to avoid Es in particular, but once the student load gets to a certain point, it’s gunna happen.
it’s a good job, I enjoy it

Fleets are all different. I'd have to re read the rules, but I'm fairly certain that once they went from five periods to six that anyone can now do an E. The west coast carve out I believe is now for Fs.

on the 320 fleet, this year, it came down no more 2 teaching events in one day.
you can Teach and turn to a seat fill.
it stems from 1 or 2 guys stacking events, and the customer thought they were kinda getting a rush job (so to speak)

It’s rare to do a double these days, unless it’s two seat fills, which is even more rare on most fleets. Double teaching events are not supposed to be scheduled. It’s a long... long day. A-C or B-D is a minimum 14 hour day plus commute time. The daily planner can do it, but it’s the exception.
Plan on driving in 17 times for 17 days in the box. It’s a good deal, if you’re wired that way. It’s not for everybody. It’s a very tough job to commute to.

I have reasons for asking. I can work through the latter. Not sure about the former when thinking day in, day out life.
