No matter; it was an uaugmented TATL flight flown in 2011 which was prior to CPDLC so it's not like a TATL today is more complex than a few years ago.
Somebody's being defensive. But anyway, we were doing CPDLC long before 2011, maybe in 2001/02in the Atlantic. Unless it was a 767, deadhead blended rate was,higher than flying 757-200.
I recall lie flat seats weren't on the 757-200 till later.
But it was a good story.
