This wouldn't be the first time I've heard negative comments regarding the A330 in QF colours. Excuse my ignorance, but why so? From what I understand of its design goals and specs, it seems to me to be a very capable aeroplane, and one the vast majority of other airlines who operate the type seem to be very happy with it. Or is this a case of poor decision-making on the part of management in selecting a great aeroplane, albeit one not optimised for the airline's intended use (notwithstanding the strengthened floors issue which everyone but everyone is familiar with)? Reminds me of the farce with Kendell and the CRJ200's. Hugely successful regional jet with many operators around the world - but a dismal failure locally, although not through any fault of the aeroplane.
