Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?
Interesting. Love all the ways to skin the same cat. Unless the fleet comes out and says, "this is the way" I'll bet it will just be left up to the capt. Indecision is the key to flexibility and flexibility is the key to airpower
We never had much of a problem with landings, as there was a domestic leg in and out of BOS or JFK (then back and forth to AMS) so the real crew got their landings ok. You would have to ask a DTW guy if that was a problem since they did DTW to AMS. As the JAFA, I always had a DH (ie to and from BOS) starting and ending the trip. But, I've never had a problem with landings since I mix up domestic and international......and on the asia stuff I get lots of landings too.
Who sits where? The capt always sits in his seat whenever he is in the cockpit. The first FO slides over to the left for middle break and then goes back when the capt (off middle break) comes back up. Junior FO from first break sits right the entire time.

What do you mean "Stuck in Mumbai?" Mumbai is an adventure in itself. You can take the city tour with our personal driver. You can go shopping at the various markets. You can go to the "Chemist" and get all kinds of meds like pain killers and Viagra. Ha You can go to the leather works to get a new flight kit made or high quality jackets made. Or you can go to the jewelry vendors and buy something you didn't really need or want. The Mumbai possibilities are endless.

By and large I love India. I've done the 'personal driver' in the touk-touk thing and I often venture out in other cities even when the rest of the crew may not. I just think Mumbai is an overload on my five senses. It's like Kim Chi (sp?), one's pain is another's comfort.
I feel strongly both ways To tell ya the truth, yes you would be stuck with the first break a lot. I remember one trip, on the way back from AMS, I gave the other FO his pick since I had "taken" the last break going over. He said he didn't care, so I shacked him with the first break again.......he wasn't happy. Hardly talked to me at all when he came up.
Yeah, you me a and Buzz gotta stick together. Just remember, thems Jar Heads was just PE majors who couldn't pass the AFOQT. Kidding, just kidding........I'm love'en the HBO series "Pacific"! Some tough kids, I don't think I could have done that.

It depends on how far back you want to go. In ICREW go to Preflight, then Archived Rotations. I think you can pull up rotations up to a year ago if you know the rotation number. Over a year and I think you are SOL.
