Narrow bodies are significantly slower, and they don’t have crew rest facilities.
Spirit big front seats do not even meet the qualifications for a class 3 rest facility, so we couldn’t do augmented crew even if we wanted to. Like I said, IF they get XLRs and IF they decide to do those type of routes as 2 pilot long range, fantastic. I don’t have any interest in doing them so one less person fighting against the bots in open time. I’ll let you get back to spreading banal rumors. Extra 19 mins in the air on a 8 hour flight...big whoop...you sound like a FA. And you can go back to telling everyone you are too cool for this “international” flying because it is inferior to what you have done. |

based off your extensive experience?
Not superior nor inferior, just fatiguing. no based off of math... If we crused at Mach .80 vs the Mach .84 example you gave on the 777 at a flying time of 8 hours roughly. if my math is wrong, then please tell me your answer. |

Except .84 is a normal cruise speed for the 777 and .80 is a high cost index for the 320 series.
The longest 2 man unaugmented crew flight permissible under 117 is 9 hours. The return flight from GIG to MIA is 8:50 on the 777. That’s all the math you need to know sport. Anyways I’ve had enough debating a theoretical route on a plane we don’t have or have orders for. |
I’d be happy just to get to Belem or Manaus... Azul’s already doing Belem in their 320NEOs...

That’s a good one! I think like 99% of the rest of our flying you’ll be seeing CI 29-32 for that one. Witt doesn’t play around with his fuel savings.

And I’m just saying it’s really not much more. |
Sport.... my grandpa used to call me that. [emoji23] we are getting 330’s or getting bought by Silver or SWA. That’s what I learned today on apc
