Hmm 2nd time for a fuel pump issue. I wonder when SKC will get this problem.

Well folks, just look back and remember how the 747 behaved the first months in full service........

Also, is there a reason why the A380 taxi's so increadibly slow once it has pushed-back from its gate? I was out there the other day and was amazed/perplexed as to why it was moving at snails-pace compared to other taxiing aircraft. :confused: Quote:

2 aircraft have been grounded 3 times since it's start of operation:
SKA grounded in Singapore once (twice if you include the grass incident) because of fuel pump problem and once in Sydney which caused it to overnight. The incident in Singapore was rescued by the 747 and the incident in Sydney was rescued by the other flights and SKB the next day. SKC grounded in Singaproe due to the fuel pump problem recently. SKB hasn't been grounded due to any problem as yet. I think the media don't realise that the A380 is still a brand new aircraft and any chance they get to give it a bad wrap they will. Overall the reliability of the aircraft is amazing, SKA operating everyday from October to January with it grounding twice is pretty good. Sydney is the route to delay or postpone if any problems do arise because London in all seriousness would make more money than Sydney would. I bet you the media will have the same coverage if a 787 is grounded for the first time and then again if it happens. Alex. |

It's my understanding that SVA had some down-time to get its brake problem fixed after SKB arrived. Not sure is B and C were delivered with the fix or have had/will get their fix too. BTW Shameel - did you see your 380 pic in the magazine last month? Came up well huh? |
I saw my pic in the magazine of Transaero last month...where's the credit?!:eek:
You guys credited SACL, but not me! Never again!:p:p:p:p:p:p |

Is there any way I could get a copy from you Andrew? ... or do you think that last month's issue would still be at some Newsagencies ? :confused: ... I'd really love to get a copy to see how my photo turned out...and to use that as a trophy-example of how a non-DSLR can still take great shots. :) |
