I always wondered what does 3 weeks on or 6 weeks on mean? Does that mean they will work you every single day legally possible during that time or are there days off during the “on” weeks?

Company I worked for did 10 days on , 5 days off. You would often work 10 days in a row, some schedules had days off. Also available were 20 on ,10 off. Here you would have at least 30-40 hours off in the middle to reset the clock. On the 4 week on , 2 week off you would have a day off every week. Never enough time to commute home, just enough to avoid collapse. This was based on JAA part Q first edition, I would not be surprised if the Chinese rules are much less restrictive. My guess: day off while on the road is a shift from late show to early show.

I wonder if this changes anything.

I'd imagine this would peak their interest greatly. They have said that our growth plans are in place w/ 50 more 320 NEOS to be delivered by year end 2021. Another 90 NEOS would be growth for another, what, 4-ish years after that? Through 2025 or so. Also, I bet they would like to have the option to convert 320n orders to 321n (or 220s?) w/ enough lead time

The end of the article says they want book value or maybe higher. I would doubt that would peak spirits interest too much.

Hmm, you're right, I never knew that. I always assumed it was peaked as in "Their level of interest reached its peak or highest level". It just made sense that way in my head.

The verb pique means to make someone angry or annoyed. But when something piques your interest or curiosity, here the verb pique just means to arouse, stimulate, or excite.

Anyways, it's just pure speculation. I am sure the interest is there if the price is right. More planes are coming but we just don't know when, how many or what kind...

After all that “effort,” you actually used “anyways??”

Lol
