I would love for HSV to reopen. I could drive to work.

Yup, it was great driving and the flying as well as the variety of trips were exceptional from my standpoint. Not a Taco Run guy, but a smattering of Europe, Middle East and Asia kept it interesting.

Trips were senior, then became junior due to the idiocy down under, but increased pay opportunities might have encouraged a few senior types back in the mix. Predominantly 74 territory but the 76 did venture below, but someone else can verify. Normally I did one trip a month within a pattern (17 days), but did two every once so often just for the hours. Did it 3 times once, but it was for a sick/fatigued crew member and I just happened to be loitering if you will in Hawaii. Unsure how many a week on either type.

Atlas has two -8s on contract with Qantas. Their schedule is to two loops around the the Pacific each week so four flights a week through ORD. Planes get a bit delayed and eventually run up against the SYD curfew and everything gets pushed back.

Thx TwinW for the specifics. I remember some 76 runs before the viral debacle or thereabouts, but I haven’t bid down there as the debacle was coming online. I do recall the switch from 400s to the -8 now. Thx again.
