Nice! 8,446 miles (7,339NM) is a bit of a journey!

Correction made. Thanks for the clarification.

Please re-open the Singapore Flight attendant base.

Seems to me that this announcement is a direct result of the TA passage. Not sure if this is manpower positive or negative v.s. the SIN tag out of NRT.

Asian tag flying blows. Hard. Hard on the body, and takes an efficient 3 and turns it into an inefficient 7 day.

XIY sucks. CTU sucks. They are only good if you like 500 rvr due to pollution.

How about we do just the opposite...people might not rank us at the bottom anymore.

I did it for years, so I'm quite familiar with the tags. If I never go to China again, I'll be thrilled. I'm just wondering how, if at all, doing away with them affects total manpower levels.

Is the nrt-sin tag double iro? Sfo - sin will require 2 ca 2 fo.

It just might. Depends on the block time. Section 5-I-3 just might kick in, however there are several ways to staff it.

The NRT SIN tag is not augmented. Only one Cap and one FO. SFO-SIN will be double augmented 2 Cap 2 FO.
