aye, but we all know the 752 has excellent long haul capabilities, across the pond, for example…
Anyway, I’d rather travel longhaul on a 752 than on one of the old Crossair MD-83 charter flights from Switzerland to Madras… (with en route refuelling stop, obviously). Those things are cramped enough on the hour and a half flight to Heathrow, after all…
GD, Continental still use the 762 for some transatlantic routes (eg EWR-GLA during Spring/Autumn (Fall if you must) although it’s a 764 during Summer and 752 during Winter.).
dunno, I assumed it was more to do with not being thrown around as much (you make yourself smaller, there’ll be less torque/g force acting on you in a crash situation.)
However… I’ve never quite mastered the technique, I’ve tried it once or twice, but always seem to end up headbutting the seat in front… have any of our cabin crew got any remedial suggestions about that? 😉
yeah, I certainly can’t recall ever hearing any suggestions of Missiles in the SR111 investigation.
HB-IWF came down whilst attempting an emergency landing at Halifax, after a fire broke out in the cockpit ceiling area, which was traced back to an insulation blanket catching fire after some IFE wires arced and sparked.
