It's a god thing HAL is not using JB's A-320's then huh.... Lets all decide what an a/c, thats not even in production yet, can or cannot do.. I mean we are all experts and know much more than Boeing or Airbus engineers
And we certainly know more than all the MBA's who get paid to decide fleet planning,..
I had a doctor tell me I had a rotator cuff tear once.. I told him he was wrong, because I'm a pilot and I know everything
