Thanks for the background, folks, very interesting reading.
Could you please fill in on timing? I gather the latest BA Jumbo's, the 747-400's, have all 10 exits on that level operating and have been around for 11 (or was it 14) years. How did the phasing out of the other Jumbo's take place? I presume the 400's weren't delivered all at once in one batch but over the 11 years, and so the phasing out went on until 2002, as mentioned above. So, for that period, BA was presumably still operating the 8-exit 747's quite widely. Have I got this right?
Thanks again!
