But it will be good for junior guys living in base wanting the Capt bid.

That’s a great point. Dramatically changes the QOL for reserves on the bus fleet. There will be some quite junior captains crossing the pond!

Hopefully we didn’t eat up too much negotiating capital on the 757 rates

Go to Flying Together - Crew Resources - Vacancy Bid - then look at the most recent “Category Summary”.

Complete list of all bases, all equipment, all pilots and their seniority.

If you’re saying the triple has more cubes below the floor, I can’t argue with that.

Like I said, Sparkie has more range. So yeah it can do SIN where we on the 777 cannot. All I was trying to say is, regardless of route, the 777 can carry more stuff.

Supposedly 170 seats per Norcella yesterday. Current 757’s have 169.

Both TAP and Aer Lingus have 321’s with lie flat flying across the Atlantic. Similar first class to the JetBlue Mint layout.
