Not So Fantastic
Herewith complete quote from Speednews email service:
"Cathay Pacific says it is studying acquiring 14 used 747-400s for growth. It would operate some in passenger configuration and convert most to freighter configuration (Boeing has told SpeedNews that Cathay is interested in its new 747-400 freighter conversion program).
Fellow oneworld member British Airways has been named as a potential seller; BA has 57 747-400s with RB211s.
Cathay currently operates 19 747-400s with 345-389 seats, plus five 747-400Fs, all with RB211s."
As you can see I was not adding my own speculation that the possible source of the aircraft is BA - so perhaps you will now withdraw your comment that I was making a mockery of a sound news story - ok?

Why wouldn't CX buy more RR-powered B744s? What's about to happen to their values?
