Skipness One Echo
I think the point that pepole are driving at is that there was a possibility in the past of doing what Lufty has done at Munich with some long haul ops to certain key locations where they could have linked up with other One World Partners. How much would it have cost to keep 4 777 there for routes to say JFK, Singapore, HK for example given the full front end cabins for carriers on these routes via mid east or direct ?. I agree with your comments re short haul by the way, but think they missed a trick long haul. No way back now though.
