Danny, are you with me?...

...Please,help us.
I think I agree. Having flown ETOPS on the B757 and B767 and now in the middle of my B744 conversion, I have to agree that those who are experienced in actually flying and operating the B744 have got a point when the likes of Doves and many others who have never operated the type keep chipping in with their pronouncements that this flight was not handled safely.

All I can say is that the B744 is a wonderful machine and has so much more redundancy built in than anything else I've ever flown. Still, what do I know? I don't start line training until next month!

Perhpas I'll close this one until I get out of the sim tomorrow. By then I'll have experienced double engine failures!
