Hi,
I have two flights into Sydney that I'm curious about in terms of crew changes. United Airlines flight 839/840 (plus a little bit of 863/870) and LAN Chile 801/800. First let's talk about the yanks.
How does United 839 crew operate the legs? I am aware that its not actually the LA aircraft that operates the SYD - MEL- SYD route, rather the SFO 777 which also raises the question, which crew operates the Melbourne sector?
I would think it would be:
Day 1: LAX/SFO - SYD
Day 2: SYD - MEL - SYD
Day 3: SYD - LAX/SFO
I may be wrong, hence why I'm curious as to whether anyone knows for sure.
NOW for our Chilean friends.
Would it be:
Day 1: SCL - AKL
Day 2: AKL - SYD - AKL
Day 3: AKL - SCL
?
Or would the crew also stay a night in Sydney and operate SYD - AKL on day 3? Clarification would be great, along with the occasional comment exclaiming how wrong I am and that I should be banished from this site forever.
Thanks,
Sam.
