Same argument on the passenger count.

747 will can sometimes also result in reduced runway capacity due to the wake turbulence separations.



Oh I agree.

However I would love to see some numbers to back up the claims that GAL will bend over backwards for U2 because they are the biggest and best customer !

Those numbers will be closely guarded but inwould suspect it's unlikely that U2 and BA and vs all pay the same for each service !
