And when you wake up every morning, you'll still be the same douchebag you were when you went to sleep.

Thanks for looking out for us al...

Any more passive aggression you'd like to send our way?

It’s all good. I think we all want the same things.

Speaking of Europe, the crews to LHR would be augmented correct?

out of JFK yes. Out of BOS that depends on the time of year. Delta was running the 75’s out of BOS to Europe in the summer without aug crews.

So we will need to have some certainty for flights before we can bid the class (not to mention actual ETOPS certification, planes, etc). Maybe someone can clarify if I am reading the section wrong.
Initially, and for some time there may not be enough block hours to create any lineholders, so everyone will be an SQ reserve for a while I think?

75 also has a higher cruise speed, which reduces the impact of high headwinds with respect to long flight times. I believe JB will augment that flight initially, if not the long term.

Last I heard they were planning to augment all Transatlantic flying. Not sure if that changes if they start Ireland.

That’s a good possibility to be honest. SQ Crew Class doesn’t have to follow same pairing distribution and requirements as a standalone base would (they are a subset of the base itself) so you could theoretically have all SQ pilots on RSV and SQ pairings tossed into OT at will.

I wonder how extensive the pre-bid information will be... Probably not extensive enough. Gonna be a lot of bidding in the blind ahead.
