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!

Did you see what their 3 week "Trip" paid? About 137 hours! 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.

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?

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

Let's see.... 330s, not super premium. A 321s... smaller than 757s. Annnnnnnnnnnd.. since bigger pays more.... Any logic majors out there? This is not much of a reach to be believable however.

Sounds like I'm LCA material in at least some sense.
