It only matters for very frequent flyers (i.e. people who put in almost as many hours as flight crew).
For your average Joe that barely flies much, it won't make any difference.
- type0 5y agoit does matter for the airplane staff
- traceroute66 5y ago> it does matter for the airplane staff Yes it does, but you don't need to worry about that. There are already procedures in place for "normal" operations. It only needs a few tiny changes to take into account the arctic route, and I'm sure all the airlines have already done that. Basically they only need to tweak shift rotas a little. For most airlines you won't even notice the impact on flight scheduling.
- Tepix 5y agoThat depends on the airline of course
- megablast 5y agoWhat a lot of words to say the airlines rotate staff on those routes.
- traceroute66 5y ago> What a lot of words to say the airlines rotate staff on those routes. Well, you were very welcome to answer the question yourself with fewer words. I note the distinct lack of an answer from you though.
- chinathrow 5y agoYeah but this should be tracked by airlines, if I recall correctly.
