Jump to postIs VH-VOZ going for cargo conversion in Singapore?
Jump to postThe story is up for a day and not a single post about this venture bringing lower standards, regulation, and pilot pay? This forum is bleeding pilots and attracting future management.
Jump to postThis is a purely hypothetical question, but I always wondered if there are any routes in the world where a 744 Combi could hit a capacity sweet spot by completely filling the main deck with cargo, and only carrying passengers on the upper deck..say 60-70 economy seats installed? I've often wondered...

Ever since the National Air 747 crash in Afghanistan concerns about cargo shifting and rigid cargo barriers have increased. There have also been inflight fires that have brought...

You can say a lot about the MD-11 (And trust me I can add plenty from a planning side) but it does a heck of a job in the cargo world. Capacity is massive and the wingspan keeps it in gateways that might lose a parking spot should you put a 747-8 or 777 in there. This is a biggie that people forget...

I totally agree with you..I always stated that it was just a tech stop for fuel. My comment was in dispute of what was claimed in post #22 above by another a.netter. The flight to Chateroux is not a tech stop I thought that was the question. The flight to PIK is to refuel because of military contra...
Jump to postThat makes zero sense. The person you replied to talked about the regular cruise speed of modern turbofan engines and the 747 regularly flys at the same speed.

High up front costs of new airframes

Cargo airlines are the last to retire older planes
