Honestly though I mention all those destinations not because I have any desire to go there, but rather just hoping we get back closer to the 24,000 hours or so we used to fly out of EWR on the 777. It sure would be nice to actually fly and not just sit at home on reserve. When I do get to fly I'm personally interested in domestic and Hawaii which is why I went 777 instead of 787. Did all that long haul stuff as an FO and have zero desire to do it again. I even have less than zero desire to see PEK,PVG, or even HKG now that Xi is in charge. Obviously if I must I must since it's a lot of what we do on the triple, but given my druthers I'll take 14 days of EWR-SFO or EWR-LAX for the rest of my career quite happily.

Anyways, just hoping for more flying and less reserve on the triple in EWR.

I don’t see any China out of the east coast coming back without Russia. We simply don’t have an aircraft that can fly it profitably.

ORD will be a stretch to PVG and PEK but it will be doable. HKG will only be reachable out SFO.

we will most likely route all China passengers thru SFO and LAX. With increased frequencies as needed.
