just out of curiosity, what exactly happens with a turnaround? I can see that QF5 is/was a B744 a/c and would have theoretically been at MTOW or near there. Now from my basic understanding (and I mean basic), isn't MLW usually much lower than MTOW such that they'd have to dump fuel or fly around for a few hours to burn it off? (this is just out of interest, is all). If not, what would they do?
Cheers
