Yes, under Part 121 we can go for 17:00 hours with a 3 man crew. With a heavy crew (me and 3 first officers) 24 hours. Way to long to be on the jet. Right now the longest flight that I do is from Louisville to Dubai and with the Jetstreams it’s about 17 hours. A$$ Pain.
Thanks. I was fairly certain there would be limits due to safety. And you’re right, those are damn long hours.
(17 hours)
Yikes. Went direct from the Midwest to Tampa. Seemed like the loooooongest flight ever. Chasing the spinning Earth? Heh
Flights to Los Angeles usually stopped in Denver or Phoenix.
But man did that feel like a long flight to Tampa.
Yikes! Yeah, I can see that getting old. How long until you reset and can fly again, after one of those?
Are you a Teamster, or are you guys outside of the union contract? Just curious.
We’ve a good friend who retired about 3 years ago from corporate. She did international procedure and such. IE type. You’re probably using stuff she wrote regularly. Certainly the packages you haul are.
