Interesting how this batch of 340s will make Singapore very proud and it has
been using the 340 in its markleting extensively lately.

This is sharp contrast to a few years ago when the Boeing apolists were so
happy that Boeing had struck a deal to relieve Singapore of its 340s to be
replaced with 777s.
