It's not "impossible." People who say that about TPAC upgrades are usually not searching correctly and/or haven't done appropriate research in this forum.

Well there's your first problem. Sunday Asia-US is

That has nothing to do with anything. What I know is I haven't flown Y TPAC since I made 1K, and that's 2 or 3 RTs per year.
