    I’ve never flown Emirates so I don’t know how their service is. Can you enlighten us as to why it was disappointing, purser? I heard their 777’s have a 3-4-3 cross section which I would think, be less roomy than the typical 9 abreast. Do the A330’s have a typical Airbus 2-4-2 layout?

    The reason for keeping the blinds drawn, during a dayllight flight, is so the inflight entertainment can be viewed with no sunlight obstruction, so to speak. Airlines advice you to pull down your shades in this instant, and I think it’s common courtesy for you to do so. I like looking outside the window as much as the next guy. But at 35,000 feet, what’s there to see? Put it up, take a photo or 2, then pull it back down.

    But you didn’t feel ‘real safe’ on any other type?

    Now we know why it’s called the CFM56! 😎 In regards to the subject matter, as much as I love the 777 and 767 on sectors up to 10-11 hours, anything longer than that, “4 Engines 4 Long Haul” baby!

    Worst in what sense, because it was 22 days after your birthday?

    The ultimate death tally of 9/11 is beyond that number. However, if you count just the amount of people that were inside an aircraft, it doesn’t come near the tally of Tenerife, even when 4 airplanes are factored in, as opposed to 2.

    Both of you are overgeneralizing. How can you automatically assume that it is the GE engine? If it is, then so be it. But what if it’s RR powered? There goes your theory out the window. Why do you never here about CO’s, or Lauda’s, or China Eastern’s 777’s that are all GE powered, have incidents like the aforementioned one? If any type of airliner has to make an emergency landing for any reason, you can’t go blaming the engine manufacturer. Come on now! It’s just a feak occurrence.

    P.S. JAL, ANA, and KE’s 777’s are also P&W powered. Lastly, how substancial is the rumor that United has ‘endless problems’ with their P&W powered 777’s?

    I’m not typically a Newcastle supporter (although I am a fan of a few of their players). However I would prefer them, from all the remaining teams, to win the Cup. I was rooting for Barca, but they were taken out by Bhoy’s boys. 😡

    The 744 is the flagship of the skies. Enough said.

    That AF plane is very clean! Look at that interesting looking Caravelle in the background there. Is that for fire training?

    Rammed, meaning hit the iceberg head-on, as opposed to try and avoid it like they did, and subsequently lacerating half the hull of the ship?
