I just got back from Moscow today...

Just to clarify we do have some Pegasus but most are not. We had none on either leg and one leg had no satcom. Mapshifts are common in Russia as there are few VORs. They recently put a second VOR near Moscow so the FMS update when you get within about 25 miles. We back everything up with NDBs.

Russia also operates under QFE we recently change our proceedures to use QNH, it works much better.

Incidently I had two Delta hew hires with me. They'd been on the the line a couple of months and did an outstanding job.
