Looking forward to the MAD trip video! How many additional "work" hours do you think you do in an average month? I mean, beyond pre-/post-flight and of course bidding, but what about 'iPad training' and other requirements? Do you have to plan for time like that often?

Hi Darren. Having a great time in Seoul. The outbound DFW ICN was brutal 1/27 ; almost 16 hrs flying time just some moderate chop over the Aleutian Islands . The crew was fun. We now serve Lime La Croix. Upgraded to J on the way back Friday. Why the 777-200 ? Do you fly the 77W? Or 787s ever ? Why not ?

@geekontheflightdeck 9 сағат бұрын
I only assume the 200 over 300 due to the 200 being able to fly higher and save fuel. I also fly the 77W. I’m not typed on the 787.

Do you prefer the GE90s or the Trent’s? I know the GE90s are more powerful, but do you notice that difference a lot? Love your content! Hello from your Swiss friends! (btw is your name spelt Darrin, Darron or Darryn 😉😅)

Interesting film Darren, and what a shame the Detroit show is now what it is. I used to go quite regularly for my work and it certainly was like nothing else round the world, really glitzy and some interesting concepts (although really cold!). But I think you’re right; there are now other ways for the car companies to showcase their products rather than an expensive show.

I know the ATC will do their best so you guys avoid the airspace and you yourselves will also do your best to avoid the airspace. But what if, WHAT IF you guys do enter North Korean airspace? Do you guys brief for that kind of thing or is there a procedure for that kind of thing?
