This is a good rumour I heard, which may change the use of reversers.

The company pays a set rate for undercarriage and tyres. So not using the reversers will put more strain on said undercarriage and tyres, costing the "company" that supplies them to EK more.

Now it is rumoured that the owner, or part owner of the company that supplies these items to EK is non other than AAR.

As I said , its a rumour, but where would you like the extra cost going, if in fact the rumour is true.

Get rid of the Showers and the bar, the upholstry, the starlight ceiling, the faux mahogany timber paneling all the extra lavatories beyond 1, get rid of half the doors and put in a tailgate ramp, web seating, tactical lighting, RAWS and chaff/flares. Then you might be good to fly into Kabul.
