Wycombe - You are right though I hope better than TCX A330. I just like the idea of four big engines under the wings, irrational but I just am more comfortable flying transatlantic that way. Indeed this trip four of us booked VS premium where we would normally use BA WTP because BA use the 777.There is a thread on how much people like the 747 on pax and slf.
Fully aware though of the economics and why the change is taking place
