Correct on both counts. But PBS will give you a late arrival home the day before and an early sign in the day after if you are not careful.

777/744/MD89, 756/330/764, 320/737/DC9, C130/C110/EMB/CRx.

I'm okay with that.

I find it interesting that the AE didn't go as briefed in the roadshows, ie there were no pull down in Whale and 777 specifically or super premium widebodies in general. I wonder what level (Richard or lower?) looked at it and figured the training events were too expensive.

I'm thinking there is much more to the story.......but I'll doubt we'll ever really know.
