SQ's old interior does it well enough with the flexibility of ruining someone transatlantic flight with last minute notice

Put an extra row or 2 in economy, reduce the pitch by an inch or two, nobody will notice. No need to repaint them, or hiring new pilot.

There are 34 used SQ A330 circulating around, 12 ended up at AC, 1 got scrapped, 3 turned into freighter plus a few that got re-configured. There are still opportunities to snap up at lease another 10?
