also for all you new hires about to be on reserve ina WB….good luck in China. I bet that is all you will see in open time for years to come.
For now, it looks like the only nonstop PVG flight is going out of SFO. SFO has been flying PVG with a tech stop and crew change in ICN, so it's been 1 double-augmented crew SFO-ICN and 1 unaugmented crew ICN-PVG-ICN to do the entire trip. Now that SFO is resuming nonstops, only one double-aug crew will be needed, so I think the manpower easily exists. Maybe there will be a need once EWR-PVG and ORD-PVG resume, but that might be a while.
