Let’s hope US Air doesn’t buy one of those baby’s. Allowing 200 pounds per passenger they could (and probably would) cram 5000 people in there. Oh yeah I forgot to allow weight for both restrooms.

Flew in a 747 from ORD to HKG one time. Fully loaded with fuel and passengers, we had to wait 20 extra minutes for the longest run way there. Theroll out to rotation took forever. Not to mention what felt like the slowest and low angle climb I'd ever been in

In my 2M air miles, it was one of the most memorable take offs I recall.
