So a bunch of domestic and ETOPs flying all in the same trip.

Theres a reason why nobody is beating that door down to get in.
They replaced them with the ALPA pairings that month and delayed the awards.

Somewhat ( for those knocking at the SQ door). During the slow winter months the Co does mix in domestic flying with Intl (SQ) flying, usually in a 5 day trip.

Now that the summer international season is approaching, the trips usually stay Intl only (sure JFK crews have trips flowing through BOS because the company can't balance staffing properly) with mostly 3 or 4 day trips (out-and-backs to Europe)

Balanced SQ staffing? Take a look at the open-time for BOS SQ after the initial awards for May. 32-ish trips...31 are SQ Gonna be busy
