Mustapha why do you ruin every thread with your childish drivel!
Go to the Kiddies corner!
As for 748 and EY........nice idea but cant see it ever happening.
Hogan and Co get far better deals (wink wink) with Airbus.
The chance for big Boeings was available long ago and the company blew it because of their greed and inability to plan ahead.
Its been said before, EY is only ever going to be a second string airline in the Gulf they will never compete with EK or QR.

From the FliteGlobal article,
To something new on CNN today:
I wonder what is really going on and if there is a leader!
Although it is introducing leased A320s for its intra-Gulf and Indian routes, Etihad will choose between the A320 and 737 for its narrowbody order.
SEATTLE, United States (AP) -- Boeing will decide on a plan to replace its popular 737 aircraft by 2012 at the latest, a spokeswoman told The Associated Press Thursday.
Last year, the company started seriously considering a successor for the 737, for which Boeing has won more than 6,000 orders since its 1967 debut.
Sandy Anger, a Boeing spokeswoman, said the company "must ensure it has the right set of breakthrough technologies in engines, aerodynamics, materials and other systems" to top the 737's efficiency.
Anger said Boeing estimates it will be ready with a replacement for the 737 "sometime in the middle of the next decade -- give or take a couple of years."
The 737 competes with Airbus' hot-selling A320, which went into service in 1988. Toulouse, France-based Airbus says it has sold more than 5,500 A320s.
