I was going from memory. I was JFK based flying LRs to mumbai and thought all the LRs had been delivered. In fact even today, wouldnt have guessed the merger was announced in 2008.

Speaking of LRs, on a mumbai trip, I forget which tail number it was but it was brand new, maybe 11 total hours on the ship. We were flying its first revenue flight. Directly overhead Frankfurt Main, the SAARU broke. We werent etops anymore so we pressed on to Mumbai. Things you dont know until something like this happens...mean time between failure on the saaru is 80,000 hours. It costs $750,000 and it was covered by the warrantee. Lucky us got an extra day in Mumbai.
