Jump to postAnyone know what the break-even (# of people aboard) for a 747 and 777 to cover the variable flight costs? I know this is difficult to ascertain because of different fares etc. But there should be some kind of generic "break-even" amount.
Just curious.
No you are correct. As it states in my post the photos don't pop up anymore. That's why I provided the original Russian pages as well as the english pages sans photos.
Cheers!
