Flight Detent,. .. .On behalf of the B767 community I offer our profound apologies for inconveniencing you so terribly. I only wish we could all fly the “BIG, FAST and HARD” wonderjet that you so eloquently describe – I bet the girls just love you. No need to buy a Porche I suppose ?. .. .As a matter of interest, I spent 2 hours stuck below your BIG BEAST least night waiting to get climb to FL410 because some lard arsed 747 was “too heavy” to climb above FL330 and the speed difference (us .82 him .85) did not give 10 minutes seperation in Indian airspace. Unlike you, I chose to sit back, relax and enjoy the flight – it’s not my fuel and at least the B767 can carry loads extra.. .. .Finally, on the subject of fuel – if you ever mature enough to get into the LHS you may well have to make some strategic fuel decisions. Until then I respectfully suggest you keep your THROBBING MONSTER stories for Tracey behind the bar in the Six Bells.. .. .Cheers, Eicas.
