I just don't understand some things that happen in the aviation industry!

In comparison to other aircraft out there still in full revenue service the 777 is new, i can't understand how they can scrap a 10/11yr old A/C when others still flying are 25+ years old!

What about the 737-200/DC-9/747-200 etc etc.

In March 2005 i flew on Virgins G-VHOL an A343 which was second off of the production line and made its first flight for Airbus on the 3rd of February 1992, the A/C was immaculate and it was twice as old as the BA 777 being scrapped!

When is it that companys decide when an A/C should be scrapped?
