I can only presume from the gleeful tone of your post that you are on the 777. I'm very happy for you.
You say 'dont shoot the messenger' but then use a
smiley after your comment about trans upgrades. Just remember you silly little man, we all work for the same company and we're all in this together.
You say that 2 A345's are goining back for a tank retrofit? Presumably that wont take more than a few weeks, so whats your point?
Also for your information,
I was flying with the CP Airbus very recently, and he said (and I quote)
'The company will have no choice but to re-introduce transition upgrades' . So when I come accross from the 'Bus to the 777 and you're my F/O, I shall remaind you of the callus tone of your post
