Maybe the whale can make up that three hours coast to coast but .80 just ain't gonna work in 9 hours.
Plenty of turnarounds to the western cities could be done from ATL, DTW and other bases. No surprise you would only focus on JFK. And I dont know if you're a hick or not.
Regarding the rest of your post, it's just more drivel to get people to believe that fatigue is made better by adding 1 to 2 more flight hours per day to a 2 man crew. It's a great example of what I've been talking about. When some shill comes here and puts out some long winded explanation to excuse something that makes no logical sense...it's BS!
