So I can see that fatigue, or just rolling delays in the operation, are going to tear those 4/5 day trips apart. Like I said, it will be interesting to see how this plan holds up in the summer months (I don't think it will stand that test).
Welcome to NY rotations 2019-2024…long trips, short layovers, delays etc.
I think the idea of having other pilots, non Ny based, is that once they are in Ny, they can get rerouted. Specially when you have flights to ATL and DTW mostly hourly, you can borrow the CA/FO and get them back to base fairly quick.
