So what's up with the very-lengthy stops in ANC that National has been making the past month or so? 10 hours, 12 hours, more. Regularly. In both directions. Seems like an extra 12 hours on the journey isn't something customers would prefer...
It doesn't seem like maintenance, and National didn't do this through the height of the PPE Lift, so I'm just curious. Crew availability due to the 3 additional 747-400s? If so, it bodes well for them ramping-up hiring!
