This is a stunning statement, in light of what that list of quotes had to say.
No, it is not a stunning statement, perhaps you and others "fell" for the quotes but they hardly represent objective truth, they are fragments of someone's opinion, they aren't even a full opinion. To call them "proof" for anything is a folly. You would have to dig a lot deeper to provide a 'smoking' gun because so far there ain't one. By the way, the discussion is getting highly repetitive, some clearly have a lot of time typing voluminous arguments, thousands of words, quotes, fancy editing, etc. that actually show or prove nothing. This is just another forum with a lot amateurs, some pilots who flew something and by the way with no single 777 pilot as I can tell.
