Qantas Project Sunrise & A350-1000ULR Discussion

Actually, it’s supposed to say it’s double the typical longhaul crew size.

That’s a pretty significant overhead for ULR ops!

I guess though it takes 2 crews to get from Sydney to London, just that only 1 crew is on duty at a time - not 2. The other crew being in a hotel in Singapore.

But there’ll be another 2x crew in a hotel for PS!

Maybe even 4x if they get a longer layover time?

Maybe QF will start adding a surcharge for flights on public holidays.

Don’t give them ideas. Domestic routes could easily justify that!

If you arrived a Monday, you'd leave Thursday. That means 2 crew already having rest, one arriving crew and one departing crew each day for a total of 3 sets of crew overnighting at any one time. That would increase if the rest was more than 3 nights.
