  • Airbus has seven 340-600 available right now
  • 4 for the price of 2 engine MX from Rolls
  • Virgin is parking their remaining 340-600s
  • Used prices dropping to 20-30M
  • Average price for a new 777-300 approx. $300M
  • Fuel burn only 12% more than 777-300, but 24% less than 747-400

Dots?? I don't see how 7 340's would replace our 747 fleet...would they be another short term stop gap?
