Holey moley that is a long flight!

Almost that type of length where you can takeoff and fly in one of a few different directions and it'll take the same amount of time!

How is that even possible?

RUMOR: DL To Order 30 A321 + 10 A330 — Civil Aviation Forum | Airliners.net


Don't worry. Sailingfun will be along in a moment to burst your RUMOR bubble.

The 332 has some serious legs on it... I wasn't kidding when I said it's more like a 777 than a 764 which it is pay banded with. iCrew shows a block time of 19+03!

Pull up the rotation on iCrew- those guys have been down in SIN all month- all line check airmen.

TOTD: The gate agent that closed 183 (JFK-SEA) 10 minutes early this morning. Had to run/bus/dive/jump to get over to T2 to make alternate js option. I'd like to see a CA deny a nonrev'ing gate agent once; that's essentially what they are doing to those trying to make a tight connection.

Obviously it's an empty airplane as well, a mx ferrry, which helps the gas millage, but still, 19 hours!

Ouch, My head! :eek:

Did you see what their 3 week "Trip" paid? About 137 hours! :rolleyes: 90% of it was laying over in Singapore for 3 weeks...

The true definition of "Dozing for dollars." It's good work if you can get it.:rolleyes:

One of the guys was only down there for the flight back to the states... the other 3 were there for the 3 weeks. Not a bad deal!

Hmmm. Three weeks with company guys/LCAs. Blue jeans-check. Running shoes-check. Golf shirts-check. Flying stories abound. I wonder if you can tune into Fox News in Singapore?
