Ron 10 #30 January 19, 2005 QuoteI wonder how airports will deal with it? It takes half an hour to load a 747, even with two jetways. A plane that has to spend two hours at the gate to load and unload is going to have some economic disadvantages I hear Heathrow is builing a new terminal. I'll let you know what they are like in 08."No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
