Of course the article is not signed (as always) so we'll never know who is responsible of this high piece of journalism..
I thought the same thing reading 7 Days this morning, high quality research !
I agree, if the A346's are available it would be the best option. As to compensation I have heard some rumours that Dubai may be seriously attempting to get some share of the manufactoring or assembly of new airbus types as part of their newly launched, big budget aerospace venture.
The option of cancelling half the orders and taking 777's or 748's when they come on line also has credit. One reason being the new terminal will be largely under utilised with A330,s parked at A380 gates.
Whatever happens you can rest assured there will be plenty of dispensations offered by the DGCA.
