Yes, i think they didnt read the times right. First of all there fleet expansion after 9/11 was not a bad moov since leasing prices dropped drasticaly, plus those ageing Tristars and MDs were not saving them much cash anyway.
Your suggestion of using 1 A340 makes alot of sense, probably use the Tristar and A340 together and strangthen there long-haul position firm before gettying rid of the Tristar and getting more A340s from Air Canada.
In my opinion they did not realise the seriousness of the aviation industries crises, and continued there expansion plans in full throttle. They should have seen carefuly the situation in USA, that might have made them see the future a little more correctly.
