Also, the new -8 74 burns LESS fuel (over 400 gallons less per hour) than the 777 and carries a significantly larger payload. Not to mention that e-tops does not come into play, and if you loose an engine you sill have 3 over the middle of the pond! If I am going across the Pacific or the Atlantic I want 4 engines thank you very much!!
