Why is what I posted nonsense?
What do you know about ultra long haul ops?
If you do know anything from your vast long haul flying experience you can attempt to refute what I have said.
Again I say what works domestically in Australian is not the same beast that the proposed B747 is. Do you think that its OK to fly for 16+ hours and then pax for the next 24 hours to get home? That is certainly what has happened in the past with some of the wet lease freighters that operated to and from Australia.
Have you read up on the history of this subject going back to just after
WW2?
Do you know about the domestic and international history of this and how we arrived at this point? Do you know about some of the shadowy operators that moved our international and sometimes domestic freight?
If you do then you will know why the proposed B747 op is a big deal? If you don't then before you comment further do some research. Perhaps look at the various AIPA submissions to the Productivity Commission and Parliamentary enquiries.Ask some of the long haul pilots and look back at some of the pprune threads on the subject.
