Of course, yes, this makes sense. Start a sub-fleet at KA where there is very little Boeing experience and create pilot shortage in their Airbus network system. They will get lower pilot utilization and increased costs, but since when does that really matter for Swires. They are into power, not money.
Too bad about that ironclad scope clause.
Also a while ago KA freighters were using CX callsigns.
So how is that ironclad scope clause working out for you?
Does the flight deck seating on the 777 recline further than Airbus?
That would really excite the KA guys awaiting flow control in China or 2 man sub-continent red eye returns.
Does that ironclad scope clause agreement include hand me downs?

Would it really be worth introducing an entire new type for an extra 30 seats?
Doubt it. Just send more of your clapped out 330s that have paid themselves off 200 times.

1. Freighters were NEVER on any Scope Clause until the Canadians placed it in their Scope Clause!
2. Under the scope clause, CX can transfer or sell the aircraft to Dragonair as they wish. The scope Clause only covers aircraft that are owned and operated by the Company under their own AOC.
Scope Clauses are iron clad when you understand what protections they afford.

Bigger aircraft is nice, but those chinese airspace restrictions will just become a bigger headache with bigger aircrafts (more capacity) but less frequency.
Wouldn't it be easier if they create a system where they get to keep the valuable slots and frequencies, pretend to operate those flights, but cancel them and push those passengers to earlier (but delayed) flights if a delay does arise?
