i know, i know, you guys had convinced me earlier, the dugong is way better than the T7 .........

But why is Timmy shouting for better performance then?
Why is the performance of a new, fantastic design only "comparable" to a almost 15 year old one, when it should blow it out of the air by a minimum of 20%?
How can it be cheaper on purchase than the smaller, older one if not subsidised?
Why are at any time more or less 10% of the fleet over at maintenance, as for the older one you will rarely see 5%?
Why is the competition not running down Airbus' doors for dugongs, if it is that much better?

I hear all the good things, but these answers are looming, and now this article.

And finally: Let a poor John Deere driver gloat a bit! After all we are losing some nice flights to it, now even Mumbai and Delhi.
