Taquare:

I couldn't possibly disagree more on LBP. The flip side of your argument about the M88 being just as hard is that the 747 would then pay just as little. Ever since Wilbur and Orville, average a/c size has been going up. With LBP, the company gets to carry more w/out paying more. Long-term, LBP is completely unsat, IMO.
