That is absolutely correct.

Any airline that schedules an airplane right at its range limit while ignoring seasonal winds is going to get exactly that they deserve. The MAX operating additional summer frequencies on 'short' transatlantic routes is a done deal, IMHO.

Now that’s some funny stuff, right there.

Default Hmm

So if the guppy goes to Europe then it becomes a global fleet and all of us are subject to global reserve rules?

Yes. Any BES that flies to Europe will be subject to global reserve rules... MAX included... Unless the UPA is amended before the Guppy boldly crosses the NATs that is.

Not everyone.....just the BES that does the Global flying. Global wouldn’t be that bad on the 737 since you can only be rolled for a global trip.

Guppies across the NATs is going to suck huge!!! They are a speed bump!!! Every Boeing crossing the tracks is going at least .81. On the Triple and Sparkie we’re flying much faster than that. Not to mention the 747s that are crossing the NATs. In the 777 we’re usually around .84 and Sparkie is faster than that.

The slow 737’s would just get restricted to the lower altitudes or file random routes while the faster heavies cruised on by at the higher altitudes

I know and that would further limit them. Filing random would work better and keep them off of the tracks.

The best solution would be to put equipment on the route that was designed for that kind of flying, but we all know what will happen.

3 day London trip will be around 17 hours credit time from east coast. How quick is the 321XLR?
