They don't fly it to make money, they fly it because they literally don't have anywhere else to blow their money. Its the biggest, and that satisfies egos in a very satisfying way. Ballers gonna ball.

I did hear a rumor of getting 2 used 380's from Malaysa to do Atl-Syd. It might be the only plane that could do it... Combine that with some differences training and some used aircraft good deal prices and you never know ... ;)

Connect the dots :)

Haha! True!:D

Lets take it one step further:

Management brags about their acumen in being able to generate said premium by providing just the right airframe for each market.

Multiple airframes are inefficient, crew wise, and thus lower our productivity (measured in block hours). We are actually more productive than many other Pilot groups when you look at revenue generated per Pilot.

Thus, since we are inefficient ( according to our management) we must agree to productivity concessions.

So in summary, our management are geniuses that deserve massive bonuses and raises because they generate a revenue premium. Meanwhile, the pilot group, the very tool that allows the revenue premium to be generated, must take productivity concessions because we are inefficient. :cool:

Scoop

One of the latest propaganda pieces put out by the USAF to get rid of the A-10 had a picture of the technologically advanced SU-25 as the credible threat and the obvious reason we need more JSFs yesterday.

Won't ever happen.

Step 1: Virgin Australia buys 380's.
Step 2: We buy 49% of Virgin Australia.
Step 3: Sign JV with Virgin Australia.
Step 4: Delta offers A380 service from SYD to ATL, NYC, LAX, and SEA.

Well, you can kill ground troops and still be beautiful.

Beautiful? Obviously how it earned it's nickname 😜

Looks like it may be leaking fuel out of it's refueling receptacle.
