Hey Birdy,
I don't like to blast idiots, but on this occasion I feel I have no choice; 4 APU pidgeon???
Do you have even the slightest notion of the type of aircraft that's being talked about here?
The world has come a long way (some might say a very sad long way) since Airbus only produced the CFM powered '340s. The ones in question here have outputs that match the mighty '400. (Boeing 747-400 in case you didn't quite get it).
I don't work for EY (but if they had Aussie bases, I sure would like to) but I do know that the notion of them not being able to pay their fuel account is so ludicrous as to make the very suggestion seem like the product of a very foolish mind indeed.
You mention '...your sources...'. Yet you purport to be from Brussels. And you've only joined in Aug '08. Hmmmmm....questionable at best.
