ORD-MBJ 757 starts 5x Weekly as I think has been posted here by Mark earlier. Starts on 1/31/09
JFK-GIG runs from Dec 19th-Feb 28th 3x Weekly

That should make for some interesting layovers for JFK crews.

Looking at the departure times...my guess is that they are unfortunately going to be bullets.

What's a bullet? I figure a layover of about 60 hrs, arriving GIG at 1025 Sat and departing at 2310 on Mon. That is, unless they route the crews back some other way.

A "Bullet" is the same as a "rocket'. Its slang for returning the same day. We do this alot to South America from IMA IDF and JFK. You arrive in the morning and leave that same night with about a 10-12 hour layover during the day. These sequences go very senior because you can rack up 17 to 18 hours in 2 days (actually 3 because you get back to base on the 3rd day around 5-6am). These trips are great for commuters too.

Think of that LGA transcon that returns at 6am on the 2nd day.

From direct observation, I'd describe them as "SWW"

Senior, Work and Whine

Not sure if those trips are conducive to a high level of customer service for obvious reasons (no sleep)

Looking again at the departure/arrival times, it looks like this would be just possible, meaning it's a sure thing. What an amazing coincidence!
