Interesting replies indeed - still though would an airline be silly enough to lift an empty jet into the air to keep pilots current? Part of a long route - Hong Kong - BKK - HKT - yes possible I suppose.
My main gripe is that I imagine that when I go to exotic places I want to fly on something exotic. Its always just jets, jets and more jets!! No offence to them but even when I was in Peru and Bolivia and did a few cross border flights it was 737s, the only half interesting plane was a clapped out LAB 727! Gimme a bumpy ride in a fokker over the andes anyday!
Good Luck..
