pardon my lack of German, but did they suggest the breakdown of 2 and 3 class aircraft for the order?

I need to get my money back from Rosetta stone

Not that I understood, its just examples of the 4 markets the intend to serve. BKK will get a 2 class 77X replacing a 2 class 744.

ok thanks. I assume cabin config decisions won't happen until well into the future when these planes are actually on the assembly line.

At one point they say the aircraft are mostly replacements, but now they are job engines

I don't get that line which Reuters also picked up earlier in the run up... LHT services the 788 for a number of airlines without LH ever being interested in the type.
