From where? LAX HNL and HNL LAX are both blocked at less than 6 hours from what I’m looking at in the bid packages. SFO is even shorter. And at 5 hours in a 756 or 777.
Anyway, the reason I brought up the point of the 787 being able to do more Europe un-augmented wasn’t to start a conversation about which trips are tougher in each airplane from other domiciles. The point was that some routes that now require three pilots may only require two when EWR 787 opens which can be more tiring and require less pilots.
