Well, considering that Mmo is .73 ('cept for Sparky) it would have to be more than that. More likely around .67, as if it isn't already a pita for atc. Not to mention having to listen to that flap-lock-out-thingy clacking away at 227 kias.
I left XJ almost 2 years ago and at the time the service agreement had NWA paying the fuel bill for the AVRO. If they managed to negotiate their way out of this due to the bk I would think that would put a sizeable burden on XJ's finances.
I wish the best for my former-fellow XJers.
