Date Cities Report Out/In Block Duty
3/18 BOS-LHR 19:12 20:12-07:00 5:48 7:03
Layover 25:20
3/20 LHR-BOS 08:35 09:20-13:10 8:50 9:50
Duty 16:53 TAFB 42:13 Block 14:38 Credit 15:00
Now there might be complications to this such as earlier report times, longer flight times for the slow 321, augmented crews, multiple flights allowing different or longer layovers, etc. I don’t know, but neither do the people who will be building the pairings.
I’m not loving the idea of a 75 hr line with 15 days on and 10 atlantic crossings.
I'm not 100% on the international 117 stuff, so correct me if wrong, but I'm pretty sure that pairing is illegal.
With only 25:20 rest in LHR you still calculate table limitations off BOS time. Meaning you would have to run an augmented crew (for just the return leg), report later than 5am East coast time, or allow for 36 hours of rest in LHR.
