I’ve been a here a year and can’t hold anything, I just get whatever is not the flavor of the month. I have had pretty good luck with the trip board though.

Does the Z do around the world trips or mostly Europe/Asia?

I'm not sure how to answer that one. I can hold it, but I'm pretty senior. Not sure about the fo's.

We have a short version that does it in about a week that I enjoy. EWR or now JFK to ANC, then ICN or KIX, TPE, DXB, CGN, EWR. Some of the legs like icn or kix to tpe and sometimes dxb to cgn are dh on the airlines. After a few days you lose track of what day it is and stop figuring out what time it is back home, reverting to a sleep until your hungry, eat until you're tired primal mode.

There's a longer version sometimes that turns it into a two week trip by adding some intra Asia flying once you're over there.

Honestly, it's fun to check the box and say you've flown around the world , but if you can live without the very long day of tpe-bom-dxb and just pick one theater or the other to fly in, it's pretty much just as good.

Yes, typically For FOs it goes pretty senior, especially the eight day short trip. It’ll fall into open time once in awhile or you can find them in the VTOs. Lots of DH and commercial flights, a few operating legs. It’s a good trip.

I never thought around the world in 8 days was a good trip. Maybe different on the 76, but my jet operated every leg.

Give me back the 5 leg, 14 day trip. That’s where it’s at.

There’s different iterations, but mine have typically started with a DH, three commercials and four operating legs. It used to be pretty civilized, I’m guessing that’s probably turned pretty ugly now. Like everything else in the bid packs.

I’m on the M1F. SDF based about 3 years in now. Week on week off for me domestic avoiding west coast. I guess about as easy as it gets in terms of domestic hub turns. One leg in one leg out and a commuter. It works I suppose.
