yes, for domestic flying. but since the topic was talking about transatlantic flying and what is allowed, sailing was correct. Our contract does not permit unaugmented transatlantic flights over 8 hours.


I was surprised too, but I’ve also seen lots of 8+ Caribbean turns on the 737 and 7ER. And those seem to have a much bigger risk because if a crew times out there is no quick way to re crew the flight. At least if the ATL crew times out in Vegas a replacement can be deadheaded in from LAX or SLC relatively quickly.
