the dreaded bathtub......

Heard from the engineers that most Kangaroo class 400s are flying 19 hours a day. Most airlines apparently have their aircraft flying 14 hours per day. The bean counters have got "em" working to the max. No downtime for maintanence and whaaalah its starting to show (and has been for a quite a while) bravo! Got to love the old maintenance "bathtub effect" curve!

Also could someone please tell me it wasn't true that a 747-400 flight was cancelled out of sydney due lack of tech crew...or as the boffons call it in virgin "pilot hours" Has it finally dawned on "this mob".....actually it will never dawn on "this mob".
