Hence the A340 and A330 - both twin aisle widebodies, including the
longest ranged commercial airliner (A340-500 IIRC). I fly a A330 back
to the UK fairly regularly form the US and I have to say it's damn
comfortable (vibration, noise, and space). HAven't been on a 777 but
I'd assume it would be also slicker than the ageing 767s and DC-10s.

The 777 is far superior both technologically and operationally to the
A-334/A-340 widebodies. AI made a mistake designing their wings, but the
A-380 should be better.

Total 777 orders 622, total A330/340 orders 812

The 777 is a much newer airplane.

777 ordered in 2002 32. A330/340 55 ordered

An anomoly having to do with familiarization for the A-380 and a desire for
four engine airplanes; driven mostly by SA-7s.

Well, it looks like the airlines disagree with you Mr Tarver with
respect to operations. What a shock.

The A-340 has a critical wing designed to 17,000 feet, what I wrote is a
matter of physics for airliners headed west out of Asia. The Airlines
agree.
