Last week's LAX-ICN flight was a reflagged PAC trip- NOT a KAL charter. I was there, you weren't, I saw a copy of the release from a buddy in ops- fomerly OUR ops. So try another one.
tt:
Give us ALL the details for this alleged GTI281! Day? Departure time? Crew names?
The ONLY LAX-ICN flight shown on the Altas schedule since 16 Sep is GTI523, 28 Sep, 0130Z, 512MC. That airplane has been flying the Korean Air ACMI route for months! Usually it goes LAX-PDX-ANC-ICN because of the amount of westbound freight; once in a while it goes direct ICN-LAX empty (or nearly so).
So, somebody MAY have tried to put together a contingency to replace a Polar flight. Show us ANY indication it ever happened!
