Glum, what I am saying is that if the RAF had more than three DAS equipped Tristars the problem would be reduced
the problem is also the spares for the DAS.
If the route was flown via Dubai (or abu Dhabi)as in the past the day would be 4-6 hours shorter for the passengers. ( and thats a long time after 6 months in Afghan) Akt of course is the low cost option.
The Co, loadie, stewards and GE all fly BZN-KBL-AKt there are 2 engs and capts.
