    Trans-Atlantic B757

    I know it has been discussed before about passenger comfort on traveling 6+ hrs on a 757, Does anyone know how the flight crews feel about flying them for that long, I am sure the cockpits are more cramped, smaller crew rest etc. Anyone have any info?
    Overheard on JFK TOWER - S Turns are fine, U-Turns are bad....

    Crew rest isn't an issue, since any 757 flight is going to be shorter than the 8-hour block time that would require an augmented crew.

    Crews don't seem to mind. The difference betweent hat and a 767 isn't much in terms of how the crew operates or rests. It's a much better plane for trans-atlantics than people realize.
