I was only thinking its so fitting for this to have been the 747.

The Queen Of The Skies won't be around much longer, at least not in big passenger airlines like BA.

Makes sense that Malaysian and Qatar have got spare aircraft available for charter.

Anyone know what sort of spare capacity BA and EasyJet will have in terms of charter?

(I have no idea whether a captain would have personal liability or not)
