Ha, I totally went in the backdoor and evidently left too soon because things weren't finished yet.

What I mean is the schedule was slightly different than what I saw.

The intent is that it will be a quicker trip to the hotel, rather than waiting for a van to arrive from the hotel. Outbound crews will still be dropped off at the terminal by the hotel shuttle.




OK Let me get this straight - When crews are going to the airport it is quick and convenient to drop us at the airport, but when we are going to the Hotel - Tango Sierra!


Something seems fishy here.

This has been a way to get crews to Asia, will this cause more DH's to NRT or is something else happening?

thanx

Yeah Scoop, we were chatting about this on here a few weeks ago. The logic escapes me. If the vans can drive us TO the airport without a problem, why the issue with them driving us FROM the airport?

BS! Happy for the hotel change, but BS!

Because the vans can depart from the hotel on a schedule. The airport not so much due to traffic and PANY/TSA shuttle parking rules.

I've used the Airtrain/shuttle from Federal Circle to get to the Marriott Courtyard van (just a few blocks away from our old one) when stuck in New York a few times. I'm not sure it's always quicker, but it definitely is more predictable.

The shuttle to the airport from our old hotel was an always late cattle car. I won't miss that hotel or the transportation.

Bump. Seemed that every rotation went in to PEK then NRT then beaches etc then NRT to SEA or the reverse of that.

What up? Multiple 7ers and occasional whale on it per day. Now gone??

Slow,

Any insight into how the FAR 117 Reserve issue is going to be resolved? Do you see this as the end of short notice inverse assignments?
