Have heard lots of talk of quicker upgrades. However can't see how it will be achievable unless they expand the training/CHECKING dept or alter the way upgrades are done (even less likely)

Won't the upgrades have to get shorter unless CX retires as many a/c as they recieve. Aren't they getting the first of the B777-300 order sometime in 2007? That is not that far away. I would guess that the training department will expand before they change the way they upgrade.

I am still just an outsider looking in, and thought that I would offer an opinion.
