JFK B777 Passenger Base
Just curious why there is no Passenger base in JFK? I've heard reasons like radiation (North Pole) or maximizing crew hours but I would think it can't be much different than the YYZ B777 Passenger base.
Couldn't they run trips like JFK-YVR-HKG-JFK or vice versa JFK-HKG-YVR-JFK or JFK-YVR-HKG-YVR-JFK orJFK-YVR-JFK? Surely they could get 84 hours from one of those combinations.
Plus, 2 JFK and 2 HKG based pilots are perfect for reducing fatigue (rest to match body clock). When its noon in NY, JFK pilots are wide awake and HKG pilots are sleepy. Vice Versa at midnight NY time.
