The 742 is a magnificent plane as all model 747 are,
unsurpassed. Wonderful upstairs with only 12 seats.
Some years ago, I forgot which carrier, some airline
( was it an all cargo or just a carrier with a separate
cargo operation ) would sell upper deck seats at
very comparable prices. Maybe it was even us, PANAM.
You needed to sign all kind of waivers because there
was no service whatsoever and safety regulations
were questionable. But remember, animal attendants
fly up there all the time with their horses, zoo animals
and whatsoever. NW SCOOP, another way to look at
revenue increases? Oh, just kidding! Sort of the passenger
on a ocean cargo ship. I certainly would enjoy the ride
and gladly bring my own sandwich.
