For someone that feels they know enough to be posting on highly technical threads such as the AF447 thread and the BA038 thread, to name a few, you do ask some pretty daft questions!
What do you think we are going to do? Take off and see how far we get? Do you really think we'd start a route up, without knowing that the aircraft could do it? And do you think the CAA would have certified the aircraft for ETOPS if they didn't think it could make it across the water?
As Raffele has said and as has been much discussed on various parts of this forum already, the outbound flight will tech stop in Shannon, whilst the inbound will be direct.
I'm all for being able to ask questions but please, at least take a minute to think before posting!
