STP,
If I were a shrink, I might conclude that your relentless attempts to marginalize and exasperate are the symptoms of deep-seeded inadequacy, probably dating back to your childhood and a parental relationship. So while it may not mean much coming from me, I would nevertheless like to tell you that you have a brilliant, well educated mind; and I have no doubt that you are an extremely knowledgeable and skilled operator of commercial aircraft. I'm sure you have feathered your financial nest well in your time at CX. Well done! You have nothing more to prove. Seriously. This is not a sarcastic personal attack.

Both
After they finish playing both brand A and B to death, like it was two stalls in ladies market, I think they will get both.
The -8Is are ready to go, both wrt deliveries as well as company setup (from -8F). They can start on a shorter notice, to take over where the -400 is retired, effectively within a year should be realistic.
The 380 will take a while to get delivered, and needs to be setup in the company first. This will work on a longer scale, maybe 5-8 years from now. London and some other slot limited airports with growth potential would be the target, whereas NA should be -8I.
My bet is 10 A380 and 15-25 -8I by 2020 - who says we can't get both?

I'm replying as to do otherwise would be rude.
Me
You
QED. You argue my case far more persuasively than I could; a thinly disguised attack on me and my parents in one sentence - bravo!
By the way, it should be 'deep-seated' not 'deep-seeded'
Now, back to farts...
Have a nice day.

Finally, I've always understood 'we' to mean 'all of us'. Why do I get the distinct impression you wanted to write "Perhaps you can avoid that in the future."?

CX business model is based on the premium class traveller. As such the size of the aircraft is rather secondary. Economy fares contribution to the bottom line is very small. The effect on 100 more economy seats per airplane is rather insignificant in terms of profits. Especially if yields drop due to flooding the market with a large capacity increase.
JFK, LHR and LAX are ports which have been identified to support a larger aircraft with associated growth in the premium classes.
As such the number of very large wide body aircraft CX ever will operate is rather limited.
IMHO
