Have they been away then??

Do you know the cost of an A380? I think its $550 million. I think It’s all organised very well. Of course the first 10-20 aircraft will be lossmaking, but that’s normal. Construction goes faster when experience is gained.

Nice. I was in Chateauroux,a nd there stands a 747-100 of Corsair. It is vebry dirty, partly stripped and standing on building bricks!

What’s the problem, can’t the other aircraft dive under or hop over the slow aircraft 1000 feet above or below?
The FMC in Boeing has a view that says the most economical cruise altitude. Sometimes 747-400’s also cruise at .865, not very sure about that.
For example, a fully loaded 747-400 won’t get any higher than FL 330 with a normal thrust setting. The aircraft would finally start descanding at FL390 for example.
Is it true that long range aircraft climb higher every two hour or so when traffic/ATC allows it? Those FMC’s are damn advanced. Very ingenious. I can program the FMC partly, I have PSS 747-400. Not all functions are included tough.

It would be much more expensive as you would have to buy 2 single tickets. As single tickets cost twice as much as returns you would be paying four times as much! 😮

Never understood the reason behind that. Looks like nearly all normal airlines are doing that, SNBA look like one of the only exception. Even then the oneway fare is only in some cases half the return fare.
