I'm not sure why, but the A340 apparently sucks, as much as the A330 is fabulous. Other than Virgin and Lufthansa, I have never seen one in person. The order books aren't exactly clogged with a backlog of A340s on order.

IDK either. Maybe the routes suck, maybe the original price was too high. Maybe it just sucks. But George's numbers would indicate otherwise...

Would the A340 be a common category with her little sister? That could put some icing on the cake for RA.

George's numbers are a pipe dream. (And I think his fuel consumption numbers are suspect) You can make a similar argument for those Air India 777s. (And that won't add yet another type to the fleet). But whatever. I'll believe it if I see it.

It is a common type with the 330. But I have a hard time believing it burns less than a 777.
