Could a 738 pilot advise if the 738 can take off at MBRW at all ports, all through the year?
I am not a B738 pilot but you you can forget about a MBRW take off from the W.A country ports. I understand QF rarely get a MBRW take off from PER with the B738.
BTW. When the domestics ordered the B727-100 in the early 60's and DC9-30 in the early 70's the alternatives were the Caravelle/Trident and the BAC-111
