I have searched the site looking for any info on CX USA based FO life style. Found a few things, but any insight would be great. Rostering? Days on/off? LAX better than ORD/JFK? How much growth is anticipated over the next few years (ie How many of the newer -400F's will affect skeds etc) How long before going to PAX side? Any info will help! Gracias! Clip.......
