Unhappy

You might find that 379.2 is max ramp weight for the -200.
ShotOne: Atlas is out, so that ends that part of the discussion. Now I have a question - haven't you (or the IPA) been a bit selfish? BA doesn't have a freighter fleet, and won't be able to be a viable force in the market in the near future - it takes time.
UK customers now have no choice but to put all their freight on a truck, and send it over to places like LUX/FRA/CDG/SPL etc etc where there are large freigher fleets operating. And believe me, thats exactly what is happening. The UK cargo that BA would have carried, IS being carried by the likes of Cargolux/Air France Cargo/Lufthansa Cargo/KLM - the list goes on.
I think your hurting yourselves in the long run. All that freight is a lot of jobs going abroad.
