Last time I flew BKK-SIN a few weeks back we got a latest config 744, which itself had been swapped (never...) from an A346. They send allsorts to SIN.

Annoyingly that's exactly what happened with us on BKK-DPS earlier this year.

Good grief. I am not the worried flyer type, but these AB6's do concern me. I hope they've checked them all...
