They have to realize that while it will take considerable money to design the 7E7, it will probably turn out to be extremely profitable and successful in the long run.

… reading about singapore airlines for example – they have prooved hat there is a niche gap. They required a replacement for the A310 – so they ordered B772, but realised they would have to keep 9 A310s for the ime being on these routes as the B772 is too big for either the pax numbers or the airports to handle. I personally wonder how many other companies must be in this dilemma?
