I’ve done intl D1 on 763 and it did not work for height and side sleep. Curious on opinions of 330 vs 350 crew rest. Most folks I’m talking to seem to be shorter and no issue either way.
Now looking at WB and debating on 350 seniority vs 330 variety. The sleep part seems to be the discussion point in the guys I’m chatting with in the left seat who “camped” right. Evidently the sleep matters (obviously) so make this crayon simple for me please… No sleep makes WBB a problem and immediate exit to 320A, but I’m trying to give WBB a fair shake before plotting the next 3 decades.
Been on both categories. I like the 350. It’s the 777 old category. 4 man crew is better than 3 man. 330 has a lot of 6 day trips that don’t pay great for the time you’re gone. Different factors to put in. What base and seniority you will hold on the 330 vs 350. If you are already on the 320, the 330 you will like better. If you have been on Boeing longer you will like the 350 better. Just my opinion and time on these two fleets.
On bunks, 339 is nice, still like the 350 better because it’s right outside the cockpit vs walking halfway down the plane on the 330. 777 wins, but it’s gone. Go get on the 350.
