One of my previous was A380, installing FTI to record all environmental conditions throughout the cabin zones, temp/humidity etc, seems they got their sums right then

Who give a st about temp/humidity when you get as much to drink as you like (even in the cheap seats )

Athough I seem to recall from this very forum that aero engines are leased not sold - so there will be a leasing company growing fat too.

And I bet that figure includes running costs over a number of years

Rumour from a Friend that works at RR is this deal won't create any new jobs and planned redundancies will still go through...

That's sad - I thought £6.1bn was quite a lot of money
