Is Airbus taking for granted the Airbus-heavy fleet?

Still cannot fly LAX-SYD. Can't fly JFK-BOM.
Did we just not pay for the desired performance from the outset?

Sounds like something we would do.

But according to flightaware the distance from lax-syd is 7700 miles, dtw-pvg on DAL 350 is 8500, so why cant it do sydney?

Ewr-bom comes up at 7800.

At least according to flightaware.

I believe it’s the alternate airport that creates the issue. But who knows.

For a long time LAX-SYD had to use Brisbane as an alternate which is about 600 miles up the coast. We finally got approved for Canberra so I bet the 350 could do it now, but not sure how much cargo it could take. Don’t know much about the 350, but the LR can do the crossing and still haul a ton of cargo. Occasionally get some bad headwinds on that route too versus a more polar route like dtw-pvg.

Just for fun I just looked on the ipad for the route from lax-syd... never seen a view of the globe with nothing but water. 🤠

I’ve got 2.4.0 and MiCrew calendar showing nothing. Kaput. Egg on face.

So I fried it (deleted app), and cracked a new one open (reinstalled) and now working again.
