International flights only. PHX-ABE-TPA-PHX will need a crew change.

Actually, unless something's changed that I missed; you can block 12 hours Internationally with 2 pilots. We used to do it on the 747 all the time. It cannot be SCHEDULED for more than 12 hours....

I'm sure the next 16.5 months will make all the difference in your prognostication becoming true.

The timeline I was referring to has changed a little, huh? Incidentally, you realize the icon you use for your screen name is a gay guy, right?

You a homophobe? That's not cool in today's world.

You must have been on a classic, then, if you were operating under 121. We did it all the time in the DC-8, too, with an FE.

8 hours in 24 is the limit, domestic or international, with only two pilots on board.

The "smartass" is well aware that Neal Patrick Harris, a gay actor, played character Barney Stinson, a hyper-sexual straight man on "How I Met Your Mother".

Neither here nor there.

To answer your question, NO, the timeline to your prognostication, which was "world's largest overnight parcel delivery service within the next two years" has not changed.

I didn't go back in the thread to get the context, but the max block in 24 is nine hours from what I understand. As long as the report time is between 5 AM and 8 PM domicile time.


All times are GMT -8. The time now is 11:33 PM.
