Did I not see somewhere that the A346 costs and, particularly, fuel burn were higher than expected and that both CX and VS were less than impressed? Slightly off topic I know but it might explain why VS are, apparently, looking seriously at 777-300ERs having so recently boasted of only using 4 engine aircraft. It would also explain CX's greater interest in used 744s as near-term capacity enhancement. Any CX/VS people care to comment?
