Carina,. .. .Just to add my two cents. The BBJ is designed to fly long legs - New York to Tokyo, for instance. Short hops around Europe do not best utilize the aircraft which was designed to do something different. Plus, the BBJ is expensive, and used (albeit relatively new in terms of technology) are available on the market at cheaper prices. Operating a 737-300/400/500 or a 717 would make more sense in a corporate shuttle configuration. If Ford's BBJs were flying more Transatlantic flights or flights down to Southern Africa, then their existence would be more defendable from a corporate perspective. Do you agree Stressfree?. .. .By the way, Stressfree, interesting flight-from-the-cockpit airliner video/DVD being sold on Worldairroutes.com related to an island-based airline (not a commercial). Check it out! Like to hear your thoughts about that - you can email me.. .. .Cheers
