Old Fella, ref your post about the J. It can do a lot more than it is currently doing if the there weren't alot of Nav's/FLT ENG's trying to protect their careers by extending the H. The J is strectched - therefore more pallets, flies higher, faster, more fuel effiecient, has TCAS, a proper auto pilot that can actually level off from a climb/descent. not to mention ATCS.
I have heard that flying a J on three engines is like flying a H on four. AND there are 2 less crew (saving 2 salaries).
The J is only limited by the hirearchy. Like an pensioner with a iphone - the senior ranks just don't understand
Don't hate it, embrace it
