Back when the A340 was launched, an un-named boeing exec made the following comment.

" it looks like a Il96,it climbs like an Il96 and its probably cheaper than the Il96"

I discovered an interesting fact the other day...while most aircraft second hand values have decreased over the last 5 years a used A340-300 is now worth 40% more than in 2001! They are now strangely in demand.

Out of curiosity, will the proposed 748 be more expensive to maintain and operate then the 773ER? I'm confused as to why the 748 isn't the best replacement for the 744s.
