Take a look at what happened when Qantas tried this with Air NZ it failed some how Emirates saved them as a co sharer. Qantas has sustained a loss in the American routes and are considering stopping KDFW TO KJFK if things don't improve. Usinf the B744'S is very costly and flying them to and from this route economy is only a quarter full competitors are at each others throats on the US aviation seen.

Other theories floated by Russia over the past year included usage of an air-to-air rocket, possibly Israeli-made, launched by a Ukrainian plane. All 298 people, some two-thirds of whom were Dutch, aboard the doomed Boeing-777 from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur were killed when it was blown out of the air over rebel-held east Ukraine on July 17 2014. Ukraine and its allies in the West have consistently accused rebels for downing the jet with a BUK missile system that was likely supplied by Russia, which Moscow denies.

October 14, 2015: Timelapse footage shows Dutch Safety Board investigators reconstruct MH17 from the crash site wreckage This older missile is banned from use by Russian military as its expiration date passed in 2011, the company said. The firm in July suggested the missile could have been the 9M38M1 model, which is a later version of the weapon. But tests now proved that the earlier type was used, it said yesterday.

October 14, 2015: Traces of explosives and ferrous metal fragments were found in the MH17 cockpit and the bodies of three crew members. The firm's glitzy presentation, which saw reams of slides projected on a giant screen, was carried live by Russia's state-run media. It is expected to form a central plank of Moscow's rebuttal to the report from the international inquiry. "Today we can definitively say that if the Boeing was shot down by a BUK missile system then it was hit by a 9M38 from the area of Zaroshchenske village," company official Mikhail Malyshevsky said.

October 14, 2015: A computer simulation carried out by Dutch Safety Board investigators supports the scenario that MH17 was brought down by a surface-to-air missile. The experiment, it said, disproved claims the missile was shot down from Snizhne, a village controlled by pro-Russian rebels. Instead they said the passenger jet seems to have been shot down from territory disputed by insurgents and Ukrainian troops, and by an outdated version of the BUK missile that is no longer in use by the Russian military. "The results of the experiment completely dispute the conclusions of the Dutch commission about the type of the rocket and the launch site," said Yan Novikov, director of Almaz-Antey, which has been put under Western sanctions.

The Russian maker of BUK missiles has released videos of a missile being exploded close to the nose of decommissioned Ilyushin plane in an attempt to discredit the findings of an official inquiry into the downing of a Malaysia Airlines jet MH17. International investigators concluded a 15-month probe into the tragedy last night and concluded that flight MH17 was shot down by a Russian-made BUK fired from rebel-held eastern Ukraine. State-controlled Russian firm Almaz-Antey published videos of a BUK missile being exploded close to the nose of a plane in the wake of the report's release.
