A330 performance with Pratts

Curious if anyone is flying the 330 with Pratt engines, and if so do they have any perfromance problems concerning load and range. Thx.

As far as I know, Skyservice, LTU, Swiss, US Airways and VG (Delsey) operate the A330 with Pratts. There may well be others too - I am sure others will tell us who they are. I fly it with the Rolls engine - no problems there I can assure you!!!! Some colleagues of mine flew a Pratt powered A330-300, and they said that while they didn't encounter performance problems as such, it certainly didn't have as much in hand as the Rolls. I'm sure others can elaborate.

Cheers
