So I'm guessing it must be a lot easier for a United guy to non-rev with their fleet of wide bodies.

We have more flights to Europe then UAL. In fact we have more flights then any other airline.

Out of NYC or ATL to LHR or CDG, that's true, but we've added flights to CDG out of many places in the US. BOS, RDU, EWR, ORD (sometimes), SLC, PIT (Summer I think), SEA all come to mind. Ten years ago, it was just JFK and ATL that had Paris service.

When I was non-revving from CDG home earlier this year, it was nice to pick a different city when DTW filled up.

I have no clue who #1 is, but try going somewhere in Asia now. My wife and daughter have wanted to go to Thailand for a couple years.....waited too long. The list of cities we used to fly to in Asia that are now done by code share partners is growing fast over the Pacific.

It was just a few years ago we had a 747 flying from Narita to Bangkok daily. Then it went to a 777, then I think it went to a 767 and I'm not sure what's flying that leg now, if anything at all.

Code share partner Korean Air connecting via Seoul or China Eastern connecting via Shanghai. We don't offer anything connecting via Narita.

These JV agreements should offer non-rev benefits on them so we can at least go to the places we used to fly on vacation.

After decades, the route is now defunct.

I was curious about widebody international reserve long call. Is it just like narrowbody domestic or is there any difference? I thought they had a 24 hour long call, but can't find it in the contract. Thanks!!

It's the same as narrow body reserve, SC is 12 hours long as well.
