When there are a lot in service, it would be funny if their overall cost efficiency was the same or less than current planes.
Double that number for more flights and the numbers really add up and this will not be pretty.
And by the way, do you like having to pay with taxpayers dollars the cost for rebuilding the terminal gates, taxiways and in some cases, the runways, to accommodate this one, single type of jet?
More is not better, and this wide-body mania will quickly de-evolve into a single class of service, mostly from the Pacific rim, and that 525 “typical” configuration will rise significantly.
Sorry, and I do appreciate your input on this, I see nothing but additional delays, aggravation and more cost due to this one type of jet.
Hey, those were great. That was my best laugh for the week. Thanks for the link.
Hopefully, they’ll be able to work that out and hire more people with that many more passengers passing through the system.
One would hope so.
Heck, I would be happy if they just staffed appropriately. Passport control is like the bank, lots of windows and hardly a person manning the desk. Thing is, it’s not like they don’t know when all these international flight arrive, they simply appear to not care.
Let us hope things improve.
