Supposedly the company has given this latest directive to dispatch following the CI400 fiasco:

CI200-300 for flights up to 10hrs.

CI60-70 for flights up to 14hrs.

CI40-45 for freighters.

This applying to the B777 fleet.

Are you guys seeing this on the line?

Curious as to what is actually being planned on the B777 ULRs. DXB-GRU/IAD/BOS/ORD/SEA and the returns to DXB. Westbound block times are very close to schedule block. Eastbound the block times are often quite a bit shorter than schedule block. But the company does not want crews slowing down?
