Two remarkable items from this report (which are not related to the incident itself) - 1) today it is hard to believe that prior to -400, 747 wasn't really a long haul aircraft compared to what we used to these days. LGW-MIA was not doable without enroute re-clearance, today you can make that in A321neo LR on a good day; 2) US Major 747 Captain just 38 years old
