What is going to take the place of the 330 on the thin routes? If, by some miracle, the 350 arrives on time, that's still at least a couple of years away. I heard the flight to Lyon the other day had about 30 pax going and 200 coming back. We need something to stem losses as they wait for loads to increase on some new routes. The Boeing would be a disaster on those sort of routes.

I keep hearing this rumour of an extra 15 777s every time I go to work. I even heard something from one of the recruiting guys that seems to back it up.

Heard same about 345s. Re-fitting and sticking around a long time. This is first I heard of sending it to MIA. I have heard 777 to MIA and then on to a South American destination.
