same, I thought the 359 was doing most of what it was supposed to do. I don’t think AB ever meant it to be a 772LR replacement but seems to do well doing what the 772ER did.
The 339 struggles on some pretty basic stuff. On paper ICN/HND-west coast should be no problem for that plane yet we are replacing it with the 359 on those routes because it can’t even do that reliably.
For the sake of leaving passengers behind around the globe, I hope we have taken delivery of our last 330 and any future WB orders are 787s or 350s.
