The cheapest used 777 runs $30mil+

This op definitely cost a tiny fraction of that.

Let's see ...

$30M for a used Boeing 777 that can be purchased and put in service without attracting much attention at all ...

OR

... several dozen hours of preparation for a hijacked Boeing 777 with about a 0.001% chance of success for whatever the ultimate mission is.

I'm still not sure I see what the "mission" is supposed to be, if this is how someone decided to go about carrying it out.

This op definitely cost a tiny fraction of that.

Then why not steal a 747 cargo plane? Wouldn't that be a whole lot easier?

Yeah, and if they put it on their Discover Card they get 1% cash back.

It’s well known that Alberta’s children travel by the short bus.

It always perks my ears up when the thought police jump on a thread.
