TRANSATLANTIC JETSTREAMS e/bound
North Atlantic jetstreams running high speed currently south easterly direction.
Anyone out there have interesting stories about this?
170mph tailwinds getting a good buffet and moderate/severe chop at FL350-FL370 this weekend.
People down the back complaining and cabin crew getting nervous.

Just flew YUL-CDG last night and we landed at CDG about 30 minutes early.
Ground speed at FL380 was, per the airshow display (hey I`m just SLF!) between 1100-1200 km/h for most of the flight

Impressive fast crossings are all very well. However, a number of aircraft were asking to "dogleg" within the London FIR to delay their approach as they were too early for their stands and other "stuff".
