Well that's me told off then! It also happens to be the experience of almost everybody I flew with in longhaul, which I managed pretty successfully for umpteen years.
So I put my cards on the table. What experience do you have Grounded (location 'Planet Earth'!), in longhaul flying, and exactly what do you know about it? You are American, a country not known for running real longrange flights in heavy schedules around the world. I used to even do transPacific out of the US to Australia as well as the other way around, UK to New Zealand. Occasionally we used to see a Pan Am at Bombay or Nairobi, or United at SYD, but that was it.
