I dont think NAS is an extended over water trip. The 50 used to do it. CUN is the overwater one.

About 2 years ago, the 70 was doing it and it turned out the 70 didn't have the required paperwork done with the Feds to do that flight. It wasn't an over water thing and I'm not sure exactly what it was, but they ended up having to downsize it for like 2 months.

I ferried a plane there to do NAS to JFK (actually there was another 50 down there and they needed to extra seats, so we followed eachother) and did a couple other ones like that while I was on reserve.

All the pax were so delighted that we had to make a fuel stop. Had to make that fuel stop both days on the return to JFK. We made it to NAS nonstsop however.

Anyone know why they don't have any 70/90 FO differences classes scheduled for July? I got bumped up a month to from Sept to Aug, but there is a large gap between the June and Aug classes.
