[Rhodes22-list] Flying - Hero or Goat?

[Brad Haslett]

Mike,

Those engines don't quit very often, that's why they let you fly anywhere in
the world with just two.  The airplane will fly quite well on one.  On none
- different set of rules. I've flown into Heathrow a gazillion times but
always on the polar route with a stop in Prestwick, Scotland and we had lots
of gas left for the Heathrow bullshit, er, I mean efficient London ATC.  I
hate to second guess my brethren so early in the game, but this smells bad!
Beijing to London with oil at $100 per barrel.  Just guessing here and I
hope I'm wrong.
