Interesting comments from people about the 777, though, it kind of fits what I've heard. Some people just love it, saying they are so rested, and feel great. Others say it takes them forever to recover, and they are exhausted. It seems like it depends upon the person.

Yes on most of the long haul trips you are now where near as fatigued as if you flew that same leg say on the MD11. Just remember that at the end of the flight your usually on the other side of the planet from your starting point.

767 is doing a lot of East and West Coast Flying from Memphis. The Company is doing a good job of taking advantage of the fuel efficiency of the airplane.
The Bid Pack has a lot of layovers in Newark, JFK, Boston, Manchester, NH, Indianapolis, LAX, Phoenix and Oakland. Shorter legs are DFW, Atlanta, and Jacksonville. Bid Packs change monthly, but these cities are fairly regular.

As a poolie that is hopeful classes will resume soon, I’m interested on what you would suggest in 2020. I know 767 deliveries continue for several more years. A310s are gone, MD10s are making their way out. 76 bid pack improved? 777 have more domestic flying? Thanks.
