Go read the FRMS exemption letter and tell me how an LA/SFO crew is going to do that trip? Have to be a total rewrite and new data to a very skeptical FAA. All that for a minimum 8 day trip with special qual'd crews, tons of soft time, and hotels needed. Nevermind that no GUM base pilots means no recovery option. They aren't building any Marriotts in Kosrae btw.
