People, as much as we hate to see these Queen of the Skies go, they really need to go. I'm sure 747s on average is a very fine plane that can last a long time, but it just seems these bunch that CX has have are having lots of problems lately. It's like my Toyota. On average Toyota is the most reliable car in America. But someone the one I got is just having one problem after another, and it's not a maintenance issue as I maintain my car religiously.
People in assembly plant can tell you, sometimes it just happens two things coming off the exact same assembly line with the same design, one can be excellent and another can be junk. Not, CX 747s are NOT junk, but they seem to be running into a string of bad lucks lately.
I personally am avoiding the CX 747s.
