yeah, there was a thread about this ages ago, saying he’d quit in a years time for personal reasons. I remember cause it sounded stupid that he’d know a year in advance about personal reasons…

posted by RIPConcordeIt’s taken a while for me to realise this, but by my reckoning the ET are way out with their B773 seating! 😮 Going by their 2-class seat plan they seat mid-300s, not 400 odd.

erm, this quote from Emirates.com…

The Boeing 777-200/300
One of the largest aircraft in our fleet, the B777-200 comfortably accommodates 18 First Class, 49 Business Class and 236 Economy Class passengers, carrying a total of 303 passengers. A second configuration offers 49 Business Class seats and 304 Economy Class passengers, allowing for a total of 353 passengers. These aircraft are currently being updated to provide greater comfort and a new 500 channel entertainment system. The B777-300, the largest member of the Emirates fleet, can carry a total of 434 passengers, with 49 Business Class seats and 385 Economy seats.

It’s full of contradictions as well…

Boeing plans to overhaul its 737 family of single-aisle aircraft in the next 10 years, applying the advanced technologies of its 787 aircraft, a senior Boeing executive said here.

dosen’t really fit in with

“I suspect that what it will be is not a continuation of the 737 family,” he added.

As in, They’re overhauling the 737, but not building a 737.

Referring to the planned update of the 737, a short-to-medium-range aircraft, Baseler said: “We have not defined what that airplane will actually look like,” adding that studies were under way.

No doubt it’ll look like a supersonic flying wing, or something… :rolleyes: :diablo:

Sky have changed their story… they now reckon there was no fire, that it just overheated. And nowhere do they mention refuelling, except that that was what the aircraft had landed at MAN for.

It was new from Boeing, assigned to Hawaiian but not taken up and stored in Vancouver for a while. Not sure where it was converted though, Hamburg I assume?

tch tch. formerly N595HA, operated by Global Jet, spent 12 months at Jet Aviation here in Basel.
