Could it be because:
1. There is more information to review in the briefing
2. They have to be at the aircraft side earlier because it takes longer to board 400 passengers than 100
3. It takes longer to pre-flight a larger aircraft?
Are you really a pilot?
Yes, it probably could. But don't start getting angry - that's WHY I ASKED THE QUESTION - because I wanted a clear series of possible reasons. I'm sorry if my question demonstrates that I am on a much lower intellectual plane than you.
Some ignoramus smart arse with a mysterious and unknown point to make
I do hope that's not pointed at me Rainboe, because that would be most insulting and unnecessary - I was only asking a question and however simple it turned out to be, I didn't mean to offend anyone (or for that matter cast doubt on my own professional ability, which TopBunk unnecessarily and insultingly did with the above quotation).
Thank you for KY Jelly and others for answering my question without sarcasm, bitterness or hatred. I now understand.
I've said it before: I really think some of you need to calm down. It's a forum. It was a question. If you thought it was too simplistic for you, then move on. Read something else. I didn't want to force anyone to answer. I didn't want to upset anyone. If you see an innocent question and it angers you, press the little 'x' at the top of your screen and go and have a nice coffee.
And chill the
out.
Disappointed as usual,
