If it’s stated here first on APC then it will come true.

Stay away from here.
Not only do we (F9 pilots, not just ORD pilots) get the suck of redeye flying, we frequently do 2 leg redeyes with a 2 hour sit between legs followed by a 23 hour sit and an early east coast van time the next day.

The F9 motto is “if it’s legal and it makes us piles of money, we do it.” We spend at least a day after each trip trying to get enough sleep to recover from work. As Mugatu mentioned, this leads to a less than ideal QOL.

And if you happen to have a trip that doesn’t have redeyes, you can count on a early show on day one and a late arrival on day four. Making your four day a un-commutable six day.

Stay away.

At least when I went through a few years ago it was not even a hour of “venting”, but over 7 hours of downtime in the lunch room. Very little one on one time during those 7 hours. I think the new format is a good move for everybody.

Default Change the subject a bit...

Quick question...sorry to change the subject. I know F9 doesn’t have agreements with Delta and United. What airlines do they have ZED fare agreements with? Interested in travel to Asia and South America. Is American on the list?
