I know but 5000miles are too long and getting eng failure right after take off...
Take a boat mate

I'd rather be flying my 380 with an engine out for 5,000 miles than being a passenger in your twin with an engine out!!!

and the spare part couldn't get to the plane for a week? and that a three engine ferry couldn't be done because ferry permits were delayed due to a govt shutdown?
