Good to hear about the 737s...don't suppose one can do anything but wait. On the A340 issue, I do believe that VA's most common is the -600. I think the main user of the -500 is Singapore, who use it in their ultralong EWR-SIN route Cheers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
