Jeez! The dugong guzzling too much fuel? What a surprise, didn't see that one coming, after all the rhetoric from Timmy and other fans.

Well, put under its wing whatever donkey you want, there will still be two too many, as with the struts, and it will remain overweight by design.
But replacing a four-legged dinosaur with another one?
Same, same, but different ......

As long as a new design performs only equally to one that has 15+ years, you will keep on begging for less guzzling donkeys.
Imagine the 350 or 77X performing only about equally to the 333 or 77W, the foul mouthing they would get!

The 380 can perform well, yes, but i guess it needs the subsidised price from the EU citicens to achieve that.
Is Boeing able and prepared to match that?
