The 600 has a huge capacity for cargo, up to 30T plus 310 pax (depending on config), the trouble is the cargo market is fickle and soft at present. When oil was under $50 a barrel it was a good all round aircraft.

But with ETOPs at 180 and due to increase, 2 engines will always be king, even if the fuel price comes down (which is forecast).
