Cost less maybe, but you get what you pay for. More capable, no way. Using the same engines, the bus struggles to get to 31,000 fully loaded at 350,00. The 767 goes right up to 37,000 carrying 400,000. Used to watch the USair bus struggle to make IAD from ORY while the 767 went to ORD and DFW with no sweat. Minor nit..."Carrying" 400k? Surely you must mean a max t.o. weight? Typical payloads I see on those stage lengths is about 60-65k for a 767-200. Any more than that at those stage lengths and it gets a bit tough if there is any weather at the destination. The -400 can be a real headache. So what happens if either a 'bus or Boeing loses DC power? How far will either likely fly then?
