DFW-ANC is like 3100 NM. FYI.

3100nm??? Don't that flight dozens of time, you must be taking the scenic route 😆 . I've actually have done longer flights with AA in the bus, i.e. DFW to LIM or DFW to FAI.

That statement tells me you've never flown the NAT before.

XLR will also be heavier. 17,000lbs. 223000 max weight. Same engines as NEO.

I'm top 12% in DFW and couldn't hold ANC. The day flying one not the red eye.

I am tired of waiting for the XLR to start Europe. Probably not until winter 25/26 is my guess. We have already announced next summers Europe flying.

I have not heard from any source worth believing. Just a few line pilots that say "the rumor is" but I have heard 3 same answers over and over.

1. New Hire classes January 2025
2. New Hire Classes Delayed till atleast 2025
3. WE ARE OVERSTAFFED BY 700-800 PILOTS FOR SUMMER 2025 (This one I believe the least)

I agree. We were getting called left and right during the summer on reserve in DFW.

That's 160 a month. 80 a class.

Good news if it comes to pass.

Layovers. Commuteable trips. Schedule is mostly flown as bid.

Every 2 hrs you can step climb. Just pretend you're in a 777-300 on a 14+ hour trip. They're in the same altitude boat.
