re: #538 Kosh’s Shadow

That’s like saying a Mercedes is a sister car to a Lexus.

In this case, both airliners (777 and Airbus 330) are similar size, two engine, somewhat long range aircraft.
But there are differences in design philosophy, and certainly many in the design itself.

Not to mention that the Boeing Rep would knife the airbus guy if he thought it would cement a sale… but that’s ok, because the Airbus man would cut his brake lines in a skinny minute.
