Would have thought Sunday would be harder, to arrive Sunday night for work Monday... but could be very wrong? EF data doesn't seem very helpful in predicting availability...
Nov - Dec, I was on a rotation of departing HKG on Sat and my SWU were always cleared before my outbound flights. But since then, I'm on a Tue-departure schedule from HKG and again outbound tends to clear several days before I leave LAX. Will be heading out again in a couple weeks as my return to HKG has been confirmed today by the clients.
