TAR 16: Daniel Pious and Jordan Pious--Brothers
Hooky:
Welcome to RFF, Jordan! Nice to meet you (online that is)! :wohoo:
apskip:
I have had some difficulty understanding how the USAir flight attendant Karen credited by Dan and Jordan for their strategic move can be at work on UA858. I may have the answer. UA858 was code-shared with 4 different airlines:
(US) US Airways 6803
(FM) Shanghai Airlines 8661
(CO) Continental Airlines 6012
(CA) Air China International 885
I have not heard of code-sharing airlines supplying flight personnel but this is apparently what happened since there is no other reasonable way to explain it. From what I can discover, the reference by I think Jordan to other flights would all point back to the same United flight at the same time since there were no comparable alternative flights they could have used.
apskip:
Intrigued as I always am by international air route questions, I decided to see what alternatives Dan and Jordan (as well as Jet/Cord and Brent/Caite since CBS and World Race Productions were not going to let any team be on a different real flight from the others) had to UA858 and its codeshare partners. There are codeshare variations, but these essential core flight options all left earlier and arrived later, which is appropriate versus a nonstop flight:
KE5886 PVG ICN 1225 1520 KE023 ICN SFO 1645 1115
JL5266 PVG KIX 1225 1540 NH7070 KIX SFO 1725 1121
MU5033 PVG ICN 1235 1520 UA892 ICN SFO 1700 1123
