I just heard that DAL will resume service to Cairo with stops in Rome. Can anyone shed details on this? I'm concerned for the crews. Will they fly into HECA and then fly our to LIRF with the same crews? I just can't imagine anyone staying overnight there.
If anyone on here is going, I wish you good luck and a safe return. You'll be in my thoughts.

I'm guessing turns into CAI from FCO? That would avoid layovers.

That is the plan as of a few hours ago. Crews are already being positioned and a aircraft is being ferried at 4 pm today to Rome from JFK to start the shuttles to get the people out of Cairo.

Flights to Cairo
Delta adds extra flights to accommodate Cairo passengers
February 1, 2011
While nonstop flights between the U.S. and Cairo remain suspended due to civil unrest, Delta is adding extra flights from Cairo to cities in Europe to help reaccommodate customers. *On Tuesday, Delta operated an extra flight from Cairo to Athens and on Wednesday plans to operate an extra flight from Cairo to Rome, with continuing service to JFK.
Since nonstop service was suspended Saturday, Delta also has been working with joint venture partner Air France-KLM to accommodate customers on upgauged flights through Amsterdam and Paris
At this time, Delta has not been contacted to work directly with the U.S. government to charter relief flights but will continue to reaccommodate customers via Europe as long as there is demand.

It's 78 degrees and sunny here.....again. I'm dreading going back to work in a few weeks. Getting paid to not work is everything I thought it could be.

Makes sense. Stop in FCO so that CAI is a turn and crews will not overnight there. Air France has not stopped any of their service.

Well I mean that's the French for ya (assuming they're not overnights).... I'd like to think Delta is a little more practical than that! I'm glad to hear no one will be staying there. Hopefully the turns go smoothly. I've heard of police officers over there requiring people to bribe them in order to get on planes. If any more light is shed on this I'd love to know.
