Blah blah blah.
At issue is how will this affect crew planning?
I don't see a good thing about it. What used to be two crews to get a plane to Asia, with a layover in ANC (change of crew there) is now now two crews without the layover; in other words better productivity for the Co over a two week paining.
The hits keep coming
I wouldn't sweat it...they only got 12 747-400s....the rest of the long-haul stuff aint' got the range for that. The way things are going..I'd be more worried of them parking the -400s than the 2 crews thing.
