FEBA,

How can installing a side door and baggage loading system make a plane more inclined to dispatch problems? These types of conversions have been occuring for years. For sure by now the bean counters would have caught onto this and would be only willing to by pure born aircraft.

OR MAYBE AIRBUS IS AFRAID THAT AN OPERATOR COULD BUY 3-4 OF THESE CONVERTED AIRCRAFT FOR THE PRICE OF ONE? COULD IT BE THAT THE 744SF WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR LOUSY A380 SALES FOR THE NEXT 20 YEARS?
