Definately kabul was not popular with the pilots.. Lol.
Anyways rarely was the load anywhere near 60% on those flights on average. Given the frequency, pax load and insurance.. It makes sense to bin them.
Ps... 'makin the books look good'.. In my book is just as good as tax evasion, in the end it will bite yo ass. grounding birds cause can't get the parts we needed when needed was no fun either,spent many a nights on the tarmac waiting for parts that did'nt materialise. But aint here to drag out the past.
