Question CX Cargo Route structure from AUS?

Could someone please inform me where the Cathay Freighter typically flies out of SYD ?
What are the pilot pattern lines like?
How much time would you spend away from home on an average trip?
Thank you .

Gents are working not that hard, biggest problem is continual roster disruption.


General pattern is SYD-MEL overnight MEL HKG overnight HKG NRT
overnight NRT TPE HKG hang around and then pass home same night

reality is no real idea what you are doing away for 8 to 9 days each pattern home for 5 days and off you go.

Lots of problems again with the classic operation, but guys you work with are good and not hard to find a cold beer somewhere?
Cheers

Tired aeroplanes and crews down the track for far too long. Ask why all the captains bid to go onto the pax aircraft as F/O's last year. Excessive command failures makes for an interesting environment.

However with all the mainline retirees coming onstream on the freighter life is going to be great isn't it? .

The only constant is change

TOPC, given your post on Tech Log...are you applying to CX. If so, let us know....you 'may' get some less cynical/playful answers.

If you know of SYD classic route changes...please tell us? Aussietruckdriver has already given you everything we know
