If true that GF will sell the A343s, this will mean a very big cut in their long-haul operational frequencies as new WB aircraft do not arrive until 2012. This at a time when everyone else is increasing their market share.
You mean the unfortunate B787 I believe, because the A330 will touchdown here around the end of this year and some old A340 with thousand of cycles in their logbooks are not easy to negotiate anyway.
