What do you airline guys do in cruise?

[Will3506]

I have always been curious as to what the pilots are doing up front in cruise flight. I know monitoring systems and hand offs. So what do you guys do when cruising?

 

[crfguy51]

Read the SOP.........

International is easier because you can do plotting charts and position reports. And get excited about waiting for the next waypoint to come up so you can do it again. And get excited for the next waypoint to come up so you can...

If the other person is some what interesting youll be able to kill at least an hour of the flight with that. If they are not, there are lots of big windows up there to look out of.

As little as possible.

That also applies to taxi, takeoff, departure, approach, landing and riding in the van to the hotel, by the way.
