Yes, you are pay protected at the higher rate. It should be automatic. It was for me. 22.E.9

I had a 330 jumpseater a couple months back tell me the reason they're evaluating still SLC for the 330 was that they were having issues with the 330 taking off fully loaded out of SLC in the summer. Said they'd have to make a fuel stop in MSP or DTW before crossing the pond. Anyone hear anything about this?
I don't understand why they aren't planning/evaluating the 350 in SLC. It solves the payload issue in the summer and gives them the right airplane to do ICN.

Wait, would an APU on takeoff have the same affect as packs off? And if I remember correctly you can’t fly across the pond without a working APU

sometimes the comments in here make sense why pilots fly airplanes and networking does their magic.

The APU wasn’t broke. The neos had an anomaly with packs off takeoffs which created a restriction that they couldn’t do it at all until it was fixed. That was going on last summer and made the hotter temp takeoffs for neo’s worse out of SLC and more weight restricted. I’m sure that’s been resolved now.

Not sure I understand why fuel stops on less than 5% of yearly routes would matter for a pilot base. That’s like saying let’s close SEA320 because if winds are too strong it stops for fuel in sfo to do Hawaii. Also how many 350’s currently fly to LHR/CDG/AMS in system vs 330’s? Plugging in crews and airplanes on a route meant for and dominated by 330 provides the maximum flexibility for the company. The 350 isn’t going to be any better on takeoff out of SLC in 100 degree+ days. We are acting like ER never did a fuel stop out of SLC in summer either.
