4 engines better than 2 engines.

Cathay Pacific will make the Boeing 777-300ER the backbone of its ultra-long-haul and long-haul fleet, chiefly serving destinations in North America and Europe with greatly improved operating economics compared to the older aircraft in its fleet.

Sorry, but as a passenger I am inclined to choose an airline that has lots of engines and cheap pilots rather than imagining to fly across that vast inhospitable North Pacific Ocean with only two engines, even with the most highly qualified, well rested and best paid pilots
