cxorcist, does it really matter?
You or I do not have a say in what they order or not. We don't even have a say on what type we fly. I also think that Cx has missed the boat big time on the A380 and possibly on the 747-8. At the end of the day it is not my responsibility to point out the obvious mistakes they make.
I also know that the 787 is a very nice piece of equipment , but then the A350 , 777 and the A330 (Neo or not) are also just as good, I would also love to fly the A380 or 747-8.
The bottom line is that they are not going to order them for me or you. They do not want to introduce another fleet type in to the business. So with that idea in mind, I can see them ordering more new 777's and most probably more A330-900.
So at the end of the day it does not matter what the new weight is or what each engine' s wet weight is and if it's winglet extensions are connected with superglue or speed tape.
