I'm always amazed. I'll fly "my" A380 on a Monday, and then the following Monday I may fly her again and she has 100+ hours on her since the week before. A380 downtime is definitely at a premium at EK, making winglet installs difficult from a downtime standpoint, even if it was an option.
Maybe there are 50 hours of towing time included in the 100+ ......
But if your statement is anywhere near the truth, then to whom do all the 15 to 20 dugongs belong that are stacked in the Northside boneyard? They have not been there 6 months ago and they would have a hard time achieving your 14h+ a day if parked over there half the time. I know it's a Wunderbus, but as i always said, even for this marvel of engineering (or copy of the 25 year old MD12 plan
) normal laws of physics still apply.
