Aside from the already posted comments, but doesn't the major source of noise helicopters produce, comes from the blades. Right??

The schools have to get tougher on admission or the problem will never be solved. These kids need a wake-up call before they hit the job market. Can't get into a school should provide that call. But the schools will cave to the revenue and pas the problem up the line. SIGH.......

Looks like Tony never read the article. Read the last two sentences. "The FBI is leading that investigation into the incident. The FBI says the miscommunication was between flight crews and the marshals, and there was no danger to the public."

I flew the A340-500 version of this service and was totally turned off by the on-board service, the seats and the timing of the flight (SIN-EWR). If this service is to succeed, all those issues will need to be addressed. All this really does is eliminate a change of plane in NRT, SFO or LAX. Will SQ be able to provide a decent service, at a price that will attract enough PAX to make this a profitable route? Only time will tell.

A marketing stunt. The real test will be in service. Will the beast deliver on the technical level? Will operational costs be inline with the marketing material? What are the long term maintenance issues and when will those problems arise?

Why even bother with these "things"? Zuma is in orbit, covering all these functions.

Unintended consequences. Perhaps the engineers won't relocate, and it will take too long to train a new workforce, plus the loss of experience. Then there is the cost of facilities to consider. One bad design and Airbus will loose the recently gained economic advantage and Boeing soars. :) This is just one major failing of the Brexit strategy. Reactionary political moves always cost more than originally thought.

Is this just an extension of the old Steve Wolfe / Airbus deal?
