So cool! I assumed that pilots just generally flew the same hops back and forth over and over, but it seems at first glance that there is actually a lot of variety.
Does it make you nervous when you have to land in a new place for the first time?
I guess the variety of flights is based on which aircraft one flies! I flew the A320 for the first 6 years, which covered all of Europe and a little bit of North Africa (Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan). Now flying the A350, there is more of the world unlocked, but there are still some routes that only other aircraft (777/787/A380) fly at my company.
We have comprehensive company data for each airport that we operate to, and some of the more challenging airports have special training (in the simulator) as a requirement, or a video briefing. Nervous would be the wrong word, but it is always exciting to fly somewhere new!
