Almost that type of length where you can takeoff and fly in one of a few different directions and it'll take the same amount of time!

The 332 has some serious legs on it... I wasn't kidding when I said it's more like a 777 than a 764 which it is pay banded with. iCrew shows a block time of 19+03!

Pull up the rotation on iCrew- those guys have been down in SIN all month- all line check airmen.

TOTD: The gate agent that closed 183 (JFK-SEA) 10 minutes early this morning. Had to run/bus/dive/jump to get over to T2 to make alternate js option. I'd like to see a CA deny a nonrev'ing gate agent once; that's essentially what they are doing to those trying to make a tight connection.

Obviously it's an empty airplane as well, a mx ferrry, which helps the gas millage, but still, 19 hours!

Ouch, My head!

Did you see what their 3 week "Trip" paid? About 137 hours! 90% of it was laying over in Singapore for 3 weeks...

The true definition of "Dozing for dollars." It's good work if you can get it.

One of the guys was only down there for the flight back to the states... the other 3 were there for the 3 weeks. Not a bad deal!
