Who in their right mind would not, in fact, get rid of the logo?”

Ignorance is bliss. Most people who would make such an association also make the same association for Russian products and companies in general… changing the logo will not change the minds of such people… why pander to their tastes anyway?
The core of their business will be in Russia or to and from Russia… why waste sucking up to those with such bias ingrained?

pretty narrow minded approach there i must say.

Aeroflot may have all ist heads in Russia only but they will benifit most from flgiths to western countries after all.

I think the anti-US sentiments are not on american poeple at all, but totally on the American leadership.

Why would they send a 737 all the way from Brazil? I would say it might fly onwards for parting out..hmm..

Thats no big deal…there are lots of companies for aircraft maintanence in UK. When Air Sahara aircrafts need a big maintanenece over-haul they also head towards the UK.

Kabir, what you describe is aircraft rotation from the perspective of operations, i.e. coordinating which aircraft in your fleet is going to operate which flight to get the most from your available aircraft. It is a key part of every airlines planning if they want to make a profit!

What we are referring to here as a rotational motion is where flexure of the airframe occurs (usually initiated by a slight instability or similar) which then, due to natural harmonics within the airframe create a motion which fells like going round in a circle in an axis which is perpendicular to the direction of flight. Boeing designs tend to show more rigidity than Airbus but the 747-400 still gets it occasionally. When I was cabin crew we used to take our crew rests in the bunks just under the base of the fin and after a while I would get so used to the swirling it would actually rock me to sleep!

Kev35 – my sincere apologies for not getting back to you sooner but I have finally received an answer to the mystery of the interference on my TV set. LHR tower’s radar screens were also picking up interference and the cause was proven to be an illegal pirate radio station that had recently set up!
