time change

[asl]

This will affect international routes:- for a this coming week Europe has switched to summer time, whilst the US switches next weekend; so there's an extra hour in time difference - is this a problem?

I think it can be - all transatlantic regular scheduled flights will either arrive 1 hour later than usual or have to leave 1 hour earlier - which would you do?

And the lucky crew on tonight's flights to Europe get an extra hour layover in their European city - WHOOPEE!!!!

Either way airports handling a lot of transatlantic flights e.g. JFK will certainly notice a shift in their regular pattern of arrivals and departures depending on where the fixed slot is tightest for that aircraft at JFK or at non-US destination.

Now why can't we all spring forward unanimously

Yep, just like having to use the U.S. measurment system instead of the Metric system that everyone else in the world uses.

Yup, My shift at EWR starts and ends one hours earlier this week. I prefer getting out at 9:30pm instead of 10:30.
