Any fleet of less than ten (10) airplanes is not cost effective, and while some don't have this immediate concern, some of us do....wish we were all in the same boat here....yes the 340-5/6 could take us non-stop to Oz....and loads of us here dream of this....can't see this in the cards here at GF....uless of course the price is right for the machines....kind of see this machine in the same light as the 767-400, and the 757-300....all great machines...for a specific mission...do carriers here in the gulf REALLY optimise machines to the mission???
