Just for fun I just looked on the ipad for the route from lax-syd... never seen a view of the globe with nothing but water. 🤠

Lord Howe and Christmas Island to mention two. Might see PagoPago. I think Canberra has one runway with a nonprecision approach to the south.

Most every seat was full.

I don’t know how Qatar sets up seating compared to DL though.

Seatguru.com shows that Delta puts 23 more seats in the plane, but I suspect more flight attendants so it might be 20 people different. Call it 4,000 lbs of passengers difference. Not a whole lot.

For a long time LAX-SYD had to use Brisbane as an alternate which is about 600 miles up the coast. We finally got approved for Canberra so I bet the 350 could do it now, but not sure how much cargo it could take. Don’t know much about the 350, but the LR can do the crossing and still haul a ton of cargo. Occasionally get some bad headwinds on that route too versus a more polar route like dtw-pvg.

Apparently it is still not able to fly LAX-SYD without unreasonable payload restrictions even with the alternate thing sorted out.

Otherwise it might be doing it by now.

I remember a captain called up Christmas Island once to break the monotony. Guy was super happy to actually have someone to talk too:D

Question swap with pot:

Sorry for the dumb question, I did try searching. I am trying to swap a 5 day for two 3 day trips in open time. I want both trips otherwise I don’t want the swap. Do I list the trips I want using the columns ie up and down or do I go across using the rows in the same line? Basically how do I make it so I will give me both trips? Sorry for the confusing question.

List across....up and down are order of preference.

It’s self explanatory where to list the trip you want to get rid of.

You want to list the trips you want to swap for on the same line....across.

Can someone explain what NOOP means. I have a trip that seems to have been removed and it says NOOP. Doesn't show any pay or credit on my time card for it and it’s not in open time either. Anything I should know about this?

No Operate.

If you are REG, you should be pay protected.
