Jump to postStill cannot agree with you, there was heaps of 744s available for conversions, lots of locations, did not make the program successful because there was too much belly space available on passenger aircraft.

Zeke, already explained to you the practice here in the US and the FAA stance on the matter. In the case of the US does. If you have a issue on the matter, you can always contact a POI or regional FSDO on the matter. FAA logging of flight time isn’t clear as mud, just like their stance of logging P...

For replacing the A380 why not go for a fleet of 12 777-9s? The 777-9 is closer in size to the A380 then the A350-1000 is and would be perfect for Qantas’s slot-constrained SYD hub.

Correct. Which is why it's strange that the BEA says that the cigarette ignited the O2. If you want to split hairs, it was not the BEA that made that statement, it was the newspaper. With the addition of one word to change it to “ignited from oxygen” would also make sense. Also splitting hairs soli...
