Question Will the A380 be deployed?

Could an A380 do non-stop Chicago to Sydney? It would double the great publicity.

I think he's FO certified on the 744. Wasn't that part of the deal to have his 707 in QF colours?

Hi All,

I believe JT is a Captain on 747's.

He was certified Captain a few years ago after undergoing trainning.

do you really expect QF will allow Travolta to fly one of their planes, full of passengers, I expect not

he may be on-board, but not in the cockpit

there is no-way a film crew could enter the cockpit, while in the air? there goes the photo op.


ps. wonder if QF will provide apple strudel and have the Viennese boys choir on board, as that is what most of Oprah audience would expect
