The basic issue will be in the agreement which should address the ultimate responsibility for final delivery of the service. No party should be allowed to simply walk away from any operation that may not be following expected, or normal, flow. Take Apollo 13 as an example, things are totally normal until, BANG. Now it's time to act and act correctly. Failure is not an option, the mission, and perhaps lives are in the balance. Yes, many extra hours of effort and man-hours will be required, and there may not be any hope of monetary compensation. In the case of resource failure, the comm satellite just got hit with a Coronal Mass Ejection and further data updates are just plain gone, something is going to have to replace that missing data. First in the near term, in order to get the current load of flights safely on the ground. Then longer term, how to get back to normal operation, where the AI has all the inputs required to deliver the expected results. Will the legal troops be a

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.
