If you are referring to the technical comments on the B747,I agree, it is irrelevant to this thread.
However if you are referring to the Air Pacific B747 operation then it is very relevant. It seems to me that the QF crews then were confronted by a very similar situation to the Tiger damp lease now. How it was resolved is a good example of making this situation work. Even more so if you know that the QF crews were going to loose work and an aircraft on the ex Sydney Fiji route which had been theirs up to that time.
