I was just asking you how you thought it made sense for it to be even 15% more efficient while weighing less than the 175 and having 10,0000lbs more thrust (as you claim) which would be a drastic increase in fuel flow and therefore NOT effiicient at all. Check your facts...ALL of them.
How dare you question the all knowing Lighteningspeed! If he said it it is true!!!! Only the Mesaba 900 XXGEN aircraft have the capability of the extra thrust and only when he is sitting in his position as "Senior" Lead FA. He is the key that makes the Disney/Pixar engines come to life. He just sprinkles a little pixie dust on dem dare engInes and BAM! Extra Extra power. Works great when flying to the Neverland ranch.
