The author is said to have "close relationship with suppliers such as Boeing", so you'd think they could get that right...

​​​​​​Perhaps you don't read SimpleFlying much though? Pretty typical of their low standard. Obvious typos, e.g. "Australian’s living in Canada". Nonsensical sentences like "The two German Shepherd traveling with their owners will cost over AU$10,000 (US$7,000) to fly home." - is it really going to cost A$10K to take two pets as luggage, or is that the cost of the owners' tickets?

It also says that one owner expects to pay A$20K to fly his pets home. If there are 70 pets, this should be costing far more than A$100K. Or does the A$20K include a bunch of other costs? Not explained.

I usually don't bother reading their stuff because of the low quality.
