The 330 and 343 are actually quite efficient - just the cabin is rubbish and old compered to the newer Boings, sorry, Boeings; so tend to be used on shorter routes where pax are less likely to moan...
Indeed NLH, we pilots have no idea of the yields of the tickets sold, but the 380s run around chock-a-block!
