I wonder why I bother to reply to such garbage. I don't know where that operating cost table came from, but it's pure bull****.

The 1011 was too clever by half and so complex it was a maintenance man's nightmare.

Cathay Pacific routinely spent much less on maintaining the 747-200 than they did on the Tristar.

And Lockheed never worked out how to make a full-size long haul version.

As for the pax, it vibrated and was noisy. So what if the pilots liked it, who cares?

You must have something better to do than promote an old dinosaur of a plane. The world has moved on.
