Fair point

Very fair point. However, I would argue that the Boeing products have NOT been a problem for CX as the Airbus has, twice now!

I would argue the savings involved in training would be great as opposed to having different products as well as interchangable parts. The 747-8, B777 and 787 are more very common. If the company is really looking to save $$$, I would think that is the way to go. This is really more opinion than anything of course. I just happen to really think Boeing is a better product.

There are many companies that are either Boeing or Airbus only operators. No reason we can't be. I think that either company will be giving us a great deal. CX colors on any aircraft is a real sales tool.

I hope for the Boeings. More anyway.
