BOEING LONG HAUL (24 hr duty day)

[V-STALL]

Boeing is about to embark on the longest, non-stop jetliner flight
ever attempted without air refueling. The company plans to take
advantage of the 777-200LR's range to shatter the distance record
it established in 1997 with the 777-200ER. The newer jet will
attempt to fly non-stop for more than 24 hours in early October.
The 777-200LR, which has three auxiliary fuel tanks, will reportedly
take off from a city in Asia and land a day later in London.
The flight path would take the crew over the Pacific, North
America and the Atlantic.

I once did a 21+ hr flight from Washington DC to Seoul with one air refueling and a 3-person crew. Wasn't the most fun I've ever had.

how many crews will that take.

A normal airline = probably 2 full crews and 2 relief officers.

Jetblue = they're giddily applying for a single crew waiver as I type ... just one leg you know.

Line guy: Do you have a fuel order, sir?
Captain: Uhhh, yeah, top it off...you may need another truck...or two...or three.

I hope they take a deck of cards...and their wives/girlfriends for something to do.
