has been confirmed to me that 4 9w B777 will be joining the GF fleet for 3 years and that the old A340s are to be retired within 6 months. Add that to the 3 ex ME A330s and 4 brand new A320s in Q4 (plus 4 new in Q1 2010), this will be a very busy year for GF and its efforts to finally renew their worn-down fleet.
