I didn’t ask about speculation on Europe, I’ve flown into to all those cities, it’s just vectors to an ILS and a trip through customs. I asked about what the timings, block/credit, and overnight footprint looks like, what’s the pairing details?

3 pilot crew, 3 day trips, 30hr layover, credits 16-17 hours.

Same as any other US airline flying to Europe. LGW and LHR are treated as separate overnights and have different hotels.

thats terrible credit for an 8 hour flight. we need block or better PER DAY and daily guarantee based on calandar day.

B6 has block or better per leg. So I’d expect that to stick. But no major airline has a min calendar day. Not sure how likely B6/B6NK is to achieve an MCD rig in a CBA/JCBA if nobody else has it. But, rig improvements need to happen (namely 5/day increased), as well as improving QOL items that are negatively affected by increased rigs (namely commutability) that need to be there too. To be clear, I’m not talking specific to Europe flying…I’m more talking about general rules.

thanks, I meant per leg. Looking forward to this thing being official soon and holding strong for a killer jcba.

So five trips across the pond a month nets about 85 credit, maybe some international override kicker?

That’s all you boys, I’ll slog up and down the east coast during daylight hours. Have a dodgy curry and a warm ale for me!

By East Coast you mean down to Santo Domingo and Port of Spain and daylight hours? Maybe on day 1....after that it'll be WOCL.

Don’t knock that LAX-PIT redeye, once you get to the hotel you got twelve hours to play frogger down a highway and then stuff your face at the Eat’n Park.

The 3 day trips credit less than 16 hours. Not even worth it.
