AirbusA320 08-13-2009 12:17 PM

What kind of aircraft will they use for the trip? Is it going from SDF to where?

UPS should of requested sponsorship for the coffee to be carried on board. Starbucks, Mickie D's or Dunkin would of payed a few bucks for bragging rights.

That's an odd response. Is he/she there to serve it...Or is he/she the meal?

Pardon my domestic ignorance. When you have a double crew on a long flight like this do you just have 4, or is there an IRO, or are there 2 IROs?

WW

at UPS a double crew may be 1 Capt and 3 F/O's or 2 Capts n 2 F/O's

While the contract may allow this, has the FAA signed off on that yet? I was under the impression that there must be two signatures on the release and our IRO's haven't had a line check allowing them to act as PIC.
