I think CDOs are harder on you if you lived in base vs a commuter. Commuters don't tend to have much to do between CDOs but sleep while those in base tend to try to do stuff during the day. If you commute you pretty well get paid to just sleep all the time.

Circling back on this, it seems as this was good gouge. It doesn't seem to have been published anyway, just words from BS (Crew Resources) on skynet. Sounds like he mentioned several 7ER bases are out of balance as well. Will be interesting to see if the have to displace off DTW330B and DTW7ERB. Guess I better start scoping out what seat I want to bump to. As always the 5 month plan changes by the hour.

Plan has always been to have new 330s fly west and 767-300s to go transatlantic.

Apparently CR didn't get the memo when the overstaffed DTW330B by 90... Ya, we all knew the NEOs were going to SEA, but I think most people thought the extra jets would just lead to an increase in SEA and keep the other bases relatively the same.

Were the ER bases that were out of balance LAX, DTW, SEA and MSP?

Extra preflight, but a real bed to sleep in. My thought is it might even it out to be able to get out of the plane for the break.

Transatlantic network did a video today on Skyhub. They answered some questions about 330 flying.
