That seems to be a common denominator.

I'd like to get the interior from the stairs forward and use it to make a home theater installation. Wonder who to call ... anybody know?

Would be nice to know exactly where staffing is on the 744 because we have from 2-4 birds in for the lay flat mod at any one time. Seems that if these guys bail and all 16 get the mods done, they might find themsleves short on crew if they fly all 16 and load them up with block hours????

Sounds like there is some merit to the article however it seems very bias towards the Airbus. I keep hearing our most profitable route is TLV- JFK which is flown with the 744. Im sure it would be somewhat better if the 380 were on it. Bring them on!!!! In terms of super premimum widebodies, we have a long way to go to catch up with UAL/CAL: 74 -777 24-744.
