Ooooh, shiny jet syndrome rumours. Always a good way to get the spikey haired kids excited. Just remember, way back when, the 'coming' airbus's and 777's where the latest 'shiny jet' promises. See just how wonderful that has turned out for everyone. Run away. What shiny jet you fly can never make up for a lack of every other area of your career (such as money, medical, rostering, kids schools, retirement, etc....). This airline is toast. At most it will barely grow, more likely shrink and wither under the onslaught of newer, more dynamic carriers in HK and the region.
