Nope, things in the Pacific are really straight forward and no where near as complex as Europe. I agree with you, if you're Europe qualed then Asia, while strange, will be ok. The Pacific islands are no more difficult than any of the Hawaiian Islands. Just don't hit the mountain on Guam like the Korean Air boys did

The rooms always were musty and there were huge toads hopping around. Other than that it was just a place to drink beer between Hawaii and Japan.

The mountain is on the south end of the island on the approach to the civilian airport. Actually, it's more of a hill, named nimitz hill, about 3 miles short of runway 6.

Don't remember ever seeing a mountain on Guam. All I remember is the runway at Anderson had about 30ft of elevation change from the approach end to the middle and back up the other end. You have to land on a runway that runs away from you and if you float it said runway jumps up and smacks you hard. Been there, done that.

Us Air Force guys never got near that end of the island. I knew there was and airport there because listed as an alternate sometimes but never saw it. Besides, we usually landed there at 2 AM and drank till dawn. We called it the sunrise service.

Wasn't it great that the Class Six store in the MAC terminal was open 24 hours? Remember sitting on the picnic tables outside the Qs and drinking till the sun came up? When you woke up you walked to the BX food court area cuz that was the only place to eat on base.

Yikes...........going through the LAX ER bid package. Only one Saipan layover and it conflicts with my carryout trip, and not that many NRT trips total. It's all good, I was going to be a domestic guy in Jan anyway but what is really amazing is the number of trips that go in and out of ATL and operate out east, ie don't see LAX again till the last day of the trip.
For the old heads, do they rotate things between bases? For example, I'm OK with Sink going out to Asia some months if I get to go to Russia. But, the only Europe we have is CDG........no AMS even.
Confused, but that's normal.......

Don't expect too much Europe flying out of LAX. In the 2-3 years I was there on the ER there were very few European trips.

Bar do Juarrez... (pronounce the J as a J not a W) is much better than the churrascarrias... and you like sweet stuff dontcha... Guarana Antarctica? Caipirinhas are great.. but not on top of beer.. and Wednesday and Saturday are Feijoada day. (I'll let you look that up for yourself)... But, if you are senior, the trip is a double all nighter, and it beats the hell out of you, so you might want to consider something else....
