• Good Friday

  Flew to New York on Thursday night since it’s a long week-end in Canada, the flight was full. And this was my 3rd flight to New York within 2 weeks. Arrived NYC  in the morning around 0630 and spotted a British Airways B744 aircraft with  a special Alliance Livery…

  

  On the way back home , I took a couple of pics of the meal I prepared (except the appertizer)at the galley for passenger

  Frankly I miss the old New York pattern so much, we used to  leave Vancouver in the mid-day and arrive JFK airport in the evening around 2000, and could have got into the hotel in Manhatten around 2130, had a good dinner with crew memebr,  slept and and explored the city on the following day, either shopping, or going to museum, or even watching a musical, then operated the night flight back to Vancouver.

  The current one is leaving Vancouver at night around 2200, arriving JFK around 0645, then  get to the hotel around 0730 have a breakfast and back to the room to sleep till around 1800 and have to start to get ready for the returning flight….usually get back home around 0230 the next day. Maybe the younger general can still squeeze a couple of hours to shop in NYC, for me however, I rather sleep as much as I can..therefore I find it quite  non-productive…….
