Yes Ferd Thanks!

I also picked the brains of some 755 guys at breakfast in NRT. The real reason behind my Saipan question was from a web search I did about saipan and it sounded like a ****hole. The guys in NRT said it was a top notch beach hotel on Gilligans Islands lagoon. At the end of te day, it made no difference for me. I MDed to 765JFK, I'll be going to IST and NCE but 2 of the pilots on my last NRT trip MDed to 755 DTW bids, one A and one B. (despite the paycut, there is a big savings on commuter costs)

I hope the long asia trips stay intact for the 755, but I dont think they will. It really appeals to me to deadhead in business to a NRT layover and then positive space home in business. In between those deadheads, laying over on tropical island beaches doesnt sound like it sucks either. One commute a month plus a ton of available days for greenslips.

Thanks Again
