Tweets of the day:

@jonostrower Singapore has 19 A380s in their fleet. What happens to those aircraft after they leave SIA will determine if the superjumbo survives.

@WeAreALPA We all know that if the @USDOT grants NAI its certificate to fly into the U.S., it will trigger the decimation of our industry. #DenyNAI.

@winglets747 Cathay Pacific ends 747 pax flights on 1 Oct, but final 747 flight will be CX8747 sightseeing 8 Oct on B-HUJ.

@winglets747 Final Cathay 747 pax flight to be flown by B-HUJ, last pax 747 for Cathay, first to fly transpolar non-stop, first to land at Chek Lap Kok.

@winglets747 Cathay Pacific expects its final three passenger 747-400s to be salvaged for parts and then broken down.
