What aircraft are you looking at Dud?
I don't know where you get your numbers, but this Airbus page:
http://www.airbus.com/en/aircraftfamilies/a330a340/a330-200/cabin_layout.html
gives two layouts. One 253 and the other 293 seats.

Never heard of SARTIME then Dud?
SARTIME is a time nominated by a pilot for the initiation of a SAR action
if a report has not been received from the pilot by the nominated
Airservices Australia unit.
http://www.auf.asn.au/comms/aussar.html
SARTIME is usually nominated for after an aircraft is due to land (for
obvious reasons).

Sus? Is that what you call it? I'd say you have half a clue about the
subject and the rest you are plucking out of your arse. What you think
should happen from the comfort of your armchair cockpit.

Man! You write as if you know this stuff, but...
But not uncommon in the airline world. Different configurations of First,
Business and Economy classes give different seating arrangements.
I don't know where you get your numbers, but this Airbus page:

What? No luggage?

Where do you get this nonsense from?

No aircraft is safe in adverse weather conditions. That's what adverse
means.

3.5 tonnes at 800kph? What? What does the speed have to do with anything?

Meaningless drivel. How much wind shear? From which direction?
Any aircraft can be damaged by windshear.

"...has been recovered with part of the wreckage."
http://www.smh.com.au/news/National/Black-box-recovered-from-Black-Hawk/2007/03/09/1173166982320.html
It sounds to me like they found a large chunk of wreckage with a black box
attached. Maybe in the AF case they aren't expecting large pieces of
wreckage. Or... maybe the person being interviewed is just being cautious.
He'd look like a complete idiot if he said he was sure it could be found
and it isn't. It might be more sensible to say that they aren't optimistic
and then have the nice outcome of finding it after all.

Dud, you need to take this to alt.conspiracy. You'd be right at home with
all the kOOkerzoids there.
Amen to that!
