It's okay to fly an airplane that when hand flying you forget the AP is OFF and start to cuss at it for not following the FCU commands because it just stays smooth and still.
It's okay to like every landing.
it's okay to
get ebola for flying it.
And to go blind.
And impotent to where blue pills dont help.
And to die early.
The damn thing is a death trap. The french and germans have been bombing us since pearl harbor and they've finally figured out how to do us in. ####.

. I guess they will get PVG back, and (possibly) HND and ICN to get you to the three magical departures. (Not sure how SYD is covered afterwards based on current A350 capabilities and SYD alternate requirements). That being said, ATL seems like a good bet too seeing as it will have three daily departures based on the current ICN and NRT (soon to be HND) departures plus the upcoming AMS departure. Not sure if the additional 6 jets jets will support flying from 3 bases though.

Lots of 320’s coming and heading west. Be easy to get to SLC on the 320 in the next year.
