One of the sadder side effects of that particular news, is they have quietly decided to scrap all their 747s :'(

True, they were gradually doing that anyways, but that's that.

Also in response to Stemos suggestion about it being a ruse to call the governments bluff...

It's not.

Yeah, I got a Flying Club email today saying they were moving to the'greenest fleet in the sky' I guessed that meant they were getting rid of the big birds  :(

I don't care for travelling on them, but they're such an icon, they'll be sadly missed

We've already decided no flying for us for a few years if ever again ,the whole thing for me has been ruined by queues and being hustled around like livestock, it will be holidays in the UK from now on have no intentions of returning to work after my 12 weeks isolation  so when the weather is good off we will go, seen plenty of other countries to last me out.

If I ever get on an aeroplane again it might well be a one way trip!   ::)

Ironically, the 747 was their testbed for using veggie fuel ::)

But yes, their longterm plan has been wide body twins for a while now. The A340s make the 747 look almost economical :D
