FlowerDuet,
I got the info straight from management, about a month ago...
There will be only 3 crew on it, as only 32 seats (1 purser and 2 main - at the moment). There will be a crew rest seat as well.
No news yet on the snn part of the journey. What complicates issues is that we won't stop in snn on the way back. We just need a little re-write of our MOAs (and a pay increase???) and we can do the whole thing in one day. However, it would mean staying the night in lcy before check-in, as 3 sectors would seriously reduce the amount of hours we can do on the day.
The MOA talks are due to start soon (delayed as usual due to other more pressing matters apparently).
Other gossip?? There's talk about Maldives, Mauritius, Seychelles, Vegas and Phoenix as soon as we can get more aircraft. The Atlanta is going to lhr next spring (in time for summer schedule) but we're keeping the aircraft, which means anything could happen.
Exciting times!!! I love a bit of being positive!
ATB,
