A340

Give me 4 engines any day. Yes, i know that they are super reliable these days and everyone will say so...... right up until an ETOPS aircraft goes splash!
However, having gone from 4 to 3, you have, in relative terms, all the time in the world to look around and decide how to sort it out.
2 to 1, on the other hand, is somewhat more of a cushion eating moment and a lot less comfortable, especially after the alleged recent EY moment!
As Dan says, there's the table for dinner.........
