Post by twa22 »

Out of curiosity, is flair still doing those brutal yyz-yvr-yyz red eye turns? Or any red eye turns for that matter?

Hard yes, but at 10 credits, you only have to work 8, maybe 9 days a month. Not a bad deal.

Oh god when I was there, I did a YOW-YVR-YOW red eye turn and it was a line indoc pairing (poor guy). It left YOW around 8pm arriving at 10pm, then did the return to YOW arriving at 630am. I did it on OT but swore I'd never do that again :lol:

Still much better than Jazz's shit continous duty where you leave and arrive at the same hours, except you have a 4 hour on the ground where your body now wants to just go to sleep and you are no longer engaged in anything to keep the fatigue at bay. You fall asleep and when you wake up in 2 hours you are a whole new level of messed up. And you only get 5 something hours of pay instead of the 10 you would get at Flair.
