The 345 cant be sold because noone wants them so were using them on shorter flights where the inefficiencies doesnt make such à huge difference.

That pretty much sums up how the mighty 300ER ended the career of the A340-500 in EK as a long-hauler! Cant beat the bare facts how great the 300ER is performance wise.
Off topic question, do you normally stick to 1 subtype of the 777, or otherwise when working for EK?
Thanks 777pilot, looking forward to more of your inside knowledge!
