Default FDX-777 Future pairings

Should be interesting to see the eventual would be bidpack for the 777.

Haven't taken an in depth look at it, but, seems like the FAA ruling is more restrictive than the "380" limitations in our contract.

So, Day 1 MEM-CAN for 16 hours, then min of 48 off (could be less w/specific rest requirements), then back. So, will the 48 off fit with the normal flight pattern or will it be greater.

If the company goes for a longer layover, opens up guys for field replacement should a dude get sick out in the field.

So, maybe the 777 will be a 6 or 7 day pairing with a mongo layover in the middle.

MEM-MEM for a sim, 24 hour off, 16 hour flight, 60-72 off, fly home
