Boeing 777 breaks world record!

[Dizel8]

LONDON - A Boeing Co. jet arrived in London from Hong Kong on Thursday, breaking the record for the longest nonstop flight by a commercial jet. The 777-200LR Worldliner — one of Boeing's newest planes — touched down shortly after 1 p.m. (8 a.m. EST) at London's Heathrow Airport after a journey of more than 11,664 miles. The previous record was set when a Boeing 747-400 flew 10,500 miles from London to Sydney in 1989.

I don't suppose you noticed why that issue has been so quiet, lately.
You're gonna have to go back to the "cleaning the cabin" thing.
