Not should be ended but must be ended.

**except if you're next on the list for the rest of that trip on reserve you can be assigned the rest of it.

Heads up with more and more 321 coming online at Delta and other airlines. The wake turbulence from this thing is no joke. Encountered it yesterday and had full scale deflection with no response for a couple seconds.
My top three wake turbulence encounters have all been 321s under calm winds


My worst wake encounter ever was behind a 321 also.

It would have to go through the trip coverage ladder first. Category dependent of course, but seeing as how that would be a broken trip, decent chance somebody would pick it up before it went back to that very same reserve. In addition, the reserve would be put on long call and on a short layover might not have adequate rest to be assigned the remainder of the trip.

The 321 has a turbohydrocelator for more efficient chemtrail dispersion. Sometimes pilots forget to turn it off. :D

I agree with your points, but it's happened to me several times over the years in a short staffed category.

I really like they added an extra supply tank on the 321 for the chemtrails, that way you don’t run out when you are flying over the crazies.

True, but the trip has to go through the trip coverage ladder before coming back.

And sometimes scheduling "forgets" to end the trip for the reserve pilot.
