"Also...if you are loading some really heavy stuff onto an aircraft, just make sure the destination port can offload it! (PM Ratty for more...)"
I thank the Lord I was on vacation for that mess... Buster can tell more, he had to deal with our ****. We sent a 747F down to him from Europe to Australia... with a heavy pallet on board... so the aircraft get's to Buster's place (MEL); they can't offload it (Too heavy for their ground equipment - not checked in advance) . After much GRRRR... airplane was sent over to SYD? where they had equipment for it. A very very expensive affair, with lots of spankings.
Is that about right Buster? Or did it go to Avalon, can't remember anymore.
Lesson? Check the next station can do what you plan....
Sorry for thread drift....
