Well, thats what the test flights are for I suppose.
It’d be very unusual for flight testing not to have hiccups or to not find anything wrong, regardless how small.

Definitely. If they were claiming a test round without any incident , it would sound fishy.

The routes over the pacific oceans are well known for their rough turbulences.

This kind of accidents are not rare unfortunately…

One present airliner has quite well succeeded in mincing 505 passengers together with the 15 crew, as per Mount Takamagahara. It is just a coincidence that Corsair has not crashed yet, and 747 still is the plane with most seats.

Actually I flew a couple of times on Corsair B744 and I have to admit that it is not that bad.
The first time was ORY to Morocco back in 2001 and then to La Guadeloupe a couple of years ago.

since I don’t have any specific bad memories …. it was certainly good;

As for the A380 packed to full capacity, thanks but no thanks, it is not my idea of flying…

but maybe I’m wrong

Best :

Qatar : hands down
United : until a few years ago
Swiss : efficient and classy
UTA: But gone for a while now

Worst:
United : now it’s a disgrace
Ryanair : Just a joke!
Alitalia : A complete disaster

He said most European airlines had 550 seats on their A380s.

That’s good journalism!! As far as I know there is only one european airline operating only one A380 at this point.

I would fly with them I guess…

Not clever ? Yes for sure.
Let’s keep in mind that this person is described as an “orthodox” which means a person quite “extrem” about the religion.

Those people have some rigid pray rules to follow that we may not understand….

What a shame : no comment!
