Over the years, we've cleared 13 SWU/GPU westbound to Asia/Pacific and 12 eastbound with no failures. This is better than either our Europe or Middle East numbers, which inclede one failure each. The day-of-week breakdown shows westbound success on Sunday (x3), Tuesday (x1), Wednesday (x3), Thursday (x2), Friday (x2), Saturday (x2). Eastbound, it's been Sunday (x1), Monday (x5), Tuesday (x2), Wednesday (x1), Thursday (x1), Friday (x1), Saturday (x1).

And all these numbers should really be doubled since there were two of us on each flight.
