KJFK to EGGL red eye and suddenly it’s exotic and exciting because…..NAT track I guess?
What does the trip footprint/layover timings/credit look like on the special qual routes anyway?
It's exotic and exiting because it's London and not Pit/Phl/FLL? I don't know....throw in Madrid, Amterdam and Paris and now I think more people would be interested. Also working with a 3 person crew, break, good food and lay flat bed. Not quite the same as just a Lax-Pit run. I'm not saying it's for everyone but it is a bit different than the regular old redeye.
