SQ is its own fleet. It goes very junior because it sucks.

15 or so hr 3 days with red-eyes on both ends..if your commute is a real PITA, it works out well with about as late a start as you can get and back early morning, but otherwise it sucks as mentioned.

Hey but at least your "transatlantic"!

Reminds me of all the pilots posting/fawning about flying the "Boom" aircraft.

In my mind I could see it just doing transatlantic turns In/Out JFK.

Red eyes at both ends? Transatlantic westbound? Yeah I don’t think so.

Pretty sure it’s usually one end. JBU20 back to JFK took off two hours ago.

Some of the trips don't have a redeye. Check Boston next Month.

But there is a double redeye if you look at JFK LHR JFK (if you consider EST) in Nov opentime. Leaves 1029pm EST from JFK. Then leave LHR 825am (325am EST)

Oh, yeah…. About that…. Yeah they save the SQ RSVs if possibly needed, if not, they throw whatever open time they want at you. Most want no part of this crap and the rest are trying to get off of it. I’m sure it’ll be a different story when we have 5+ destinations. IF….

tempted to try it for a few months (3/4) and bid off of it. Was hoping home based scr wouldn’t get used very much.

So is it true you could post your whole schedule on the trade board and if someone picks it up then you just don't work? Obviously would need to have people pick it up which is probably rare but if that happens you can drop to zero for the month?
