Morbid curiosity. Upgrade times?

I thought the west bound flights were AM departures?

And nothing is stopping you from packing a cooler for at least the outbound leg.

They are, but they're so early they're inside the WOCL for the east coast.

Every leg I do now is a red eye.

So, nothing has changed since SLC.

As sporty as things can get trying to understand what the hell Magadan or Ujung Pandang is trying to tell you to do at 0200 local, I'd rather deal with that than 4 legs in and out of a weathered in hub, with crappy airport food and an 11 hour layover to look forward to.

If you plan your nap accordingly, communication becomes a lot easier.

“Yeah, man. That sounds rough. Anyway, I got it from here go take a break. Is the coffee fresh?”

Fair. But if the sun is out, it's not a red eye... just something to bid avoid.

I lucked out last time going through China. The RO got his revenge though because on the next leg, about 2 minutes after I replaced him up front both or right inner fuel pumps died.

Eh. You can have both. I love the Eastbound redeyes in the winter. Screaming tailwind, and the sun is down longer.

Pardon my ignorance on Hawaiians route structure but when do you guys talk to China? Never heard y’all in the last 18 months and I’ve been in China a whole heap as of late. Regardless… it’s nice to know it’s not just us freight guys having to learn a new language enroute.

A whole lot of random cargo and charter action over the past year. I wouldn't expect it to continue once Japan and Australia open up again though.

Long time no see man! Glad to see you still lurking.

 

[CFIT99]

alrighty...yup @nsmith2224 and I get to torment new FO's in a few months, @ASpilot2be has already tried to put me on his no fly list...

Flying every single day on reserve is not my idea of fun.

Which is why it's called "work."
