What about pinkeyes?


Pinkeyes are east coast departures at 9pm-12 midnight local eastern, that land 12am-2am on the west coast, effectively being 3am-5am on the east coast body clock.

That's just a late night. I think our last departure to the west coast is 2230 scheduled.

A pink eye is leaving early on day one, like 7am, fly to west coast, 10 hours off and red eye back to base.

Thankfully the airplane I'm on doesn't do them so I've escaped the life shortening killers that they are.

No guys, a pink eye is a departure from the Northeast to the islands. Depart maybe midnight, land 0330.

Overnight then at 330am? Not too bad. A turnaround and back to JFK at 6-8am ? Now that's pretty freakin brutal. What do you guys do?


Still, I'd gladly swap my available reserve CA slot at SFO or LAX for a reserve CA slot in JFK at the Blue. ;)
 
Try PHNL-NSTU-PHNL for several months straight because that's all you can hold, leave your house at 2:45pm for a 5ish pm departure with 2 clown captains, you're on rest for the first shift for 2h25 (and thats all you get the whole night), arrive NSTU at 11pm to driving rain, poor condition runway, ATC that's a hundred miles away. 2 hour turn on the ground, then return to PHNL to land around 5am. Rinse/repeat twice a week.

I'm not sure that's any worse than a pair of Buffalo turns.

Why can't everyone get past the yoke? Every company has some sort of idiosyncrasy that uniquely identifies them. Embraer has the Ram horn yoke. Airbus has the joystick and tray table. Boeing insists on maintaining a traditional yoke. Let's embrace corporate culture identities and just get over it already, and ourselves.

Three words: bizarre Airbus nerdfest.

It's on the Bus now. So at least your "rest" break at 4pm comes with a LDCRM instead of a bouncy castle.

Two clown captains still included though.

Until those traditional airplane loving pilots get an opportunity to fly an Airbus. ;)

For the record I have absolutely no experience with either one so I should really just STFU.
