Thanks for that, I hadn't read any real life figures, only the pre-launch dreams. The thread was enlightening as I too would have expected much better unit costs over something like the A332. There has been so much hype (perhaps BS is a better description for it) coming out of Seattle's

Yes a failure of a valve/electronics associated with the fuel system would make sense. "Operator error" on the other hand does not.
