My DM42 Is lost

[tuxfish]

My booksized parcel from California arrived here in Germany luckily finally just before Pentecost.
Sent with USPS it took 2½ months.
→ One has to be patient these days ...


A nearly empty 787 must have been a bit eerie indeed.
Nevertheless this plane is one of the few running that provide higher oxygen level, higher air pressure (~2000m)
& does not use bleed air from the engines, but fresh air via two separate inlets upfront directly,
for the air conditioning system of the cabin.

Cheerio !

I have been flying the 787 around for the last month on strictly cargo operations. Cargo in the belly but still with the pax seats installed.

Just did a Vancouver Seoul Shanghai Vancouver. No pax, just freight.

Had to cook my own meal and make my own coffee

Of course, didn’t have to deal with flight attendants or pax

Pax = passengers

Yes.
It took from March 14 until March 28 to go from Prescott, AZ to Los Angeles, CA - USPS
It then appears to have languished in LA from March 28 until May 7. - Held up by USPS or US Customs???
It then quickly made its way to Switzerland. - It cleared Swiss Customs in only one day.

Someone had to play with it, someone save us from calculator poastal geeks!

I had a parcel go from New York to Erlanger to the Emirates back to New York over to Montreal then on to Vancouver. Transit time 5 weeks!

Got to wonder!!!

My repaired DM42 has returned.
It looks like international shipping is getting back to normal.
