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.
The 330's have no problem with long-haul (US-Europe or deep SA.) It's not meant for ULH.
I've been on the jet for almost a year (Europe and SA) and have yet to leave anyone behind.
