777 Routes

I have been on the 777 for 6 months

The 777, when your junior will be constant 3 day trips to the E Coast and Middle East. Its the least "Fun" long haul aircraft until you can get some Gatwick trips, which tend to be senior.

Not so, with Trip Lines I have manged only one E coast since Christmas and since joining the fleet I have been to the Middle East once. Caribbean trips are attainable as well a range of interseting Indian destinations. Chicago is nice too. When I last counted it was over 30 destinations with trips ranging from just over 4 hrs but more commonly 8 hrs to the long distance trips to China. I don't know how long they are as they are not yet junior trips.

Numerical Qs. With a ROC of Xfpm how long will it take to get to X 000ft?
FF is X, quantity is Y. When will you get to mins of Z/What is your endurance?

Anyway back to the 777. Its a nice aircraft to fly. Good kit apart from the bunks.
