Yes, I should have considered Iceland Air, which is ~5 hours from East Coast to Reykjavik. Or I should have more clarified it to say there are very few passenger airlines flying into mainland Europe from the East coast USA.

Iceland air goes from Iceland to Seattle in a max. ~8 hrs

anything over 3 hrs in single aisle should be illegal.
Did you see the new XLR 321 can go 14hrs? F that as a pax. Some dude standing with his junk against your shoulder because he has to stretch every hr or the old lady who walks up and down the aisle 50 times an hr so you cant stretch your leg out or have to pull you shoulder in...
btw I stand every hr also so I feel the pain

Flight Controls Test
Hi everyone! Question for the 737 pilots out there! I don’t know for certain if Southwest does or does not have the FCS Position Page option is installed on the MFD when SYS is pressed. If they don’t, I have seen (now this is only from flight sims) that the brake temps, and the hydraulic quantities and pressures are shown, for the other MFD SYS option. Now in the sim control deflection appears to only change the quantity on A and B, (which I am not sure but correct me if I am wrong, is the quantity throughout the whole system? or the reservoirs?). So if this option isn’t installed, how do pilots ensure that the controls are yes in fact free and are moving correctly in response to yoke and rudder pedal inputs with the controls out of view from the cockpit windows? On the shorter versions of the 737 like the -700 are the ailerons at least visible of you look out far enough? Is there a way to feel a jam in the controls? Or is there a way to sense that pressure might be low in the hydraulic system just through stiffness in the yoke or pedals? Very curious to know!
Thanks and safe flights!!!

And the fly it like a -200 mantra that still exists in Dallas. Are we the only airline that still sets Zeros and "dives to the dirt"?
