OK Thanks, it would be neat seeing the flight take off from PHL on 27L/9R. Somehow I am thinking either they are planning to add a few 777's to the fleet or go with the A340. Going with the A340, a A330 crew can operate it?I would assume so, but there'll still be wind part/most of the way (never been over the pole). I probably should have said just wind, cause even a crosswind decreases range and when you're talking about that length of flight it adds up.

If they go from PHL, won't it be over the pole?
LOL. They'll be serving drinks in plastic cups. "Made in China"Hooray China back in First Class.

I heard we are buying some KC-135's for inflight refueling. The F/A's will lay on their belly in the boom pod and pass gas the entire flight.
I'm sure our Amateur West paper plate brand would go over really well in the Asian market.
But seriously, does anybody think the timing of this announcement a little suspect? LCC puts out a press release announcing their "intention" to fly to China the same day their C.E.O.'s D.W.I. arrest is announced. Never mind the fact that they don't presently have the aircraft to fly the route.
I hope they overfly China and land in Thailand. That Lo Mein will sure have a "Spark" to it. :rant: :rant: :rant:It all happened on the way home from the Open party. They were sitting in Parker's BMW boozed up and one of them said, "I could go for some good Chinese--maybe some lo mein or kung pow chicken." And Parker, said, "Done. Let's fly to China. Start preparing the application. No better place to get Chinese than China. We can drink for free the whole way over. High Five everyone, High Five." And, that folks, is how this idea was born.
