Smaller and fuel effecient seems to be the direction profitable airlines are going - this is ridiculous.

Not necessarily. On some routes, this plane, or one like it, might make sense. I'm thinking JFK to London or LAX to Tokyo. Busy, full flights, all the time.

It's not going to work from LAX to ORD, though.

I noticed neither Russia or China had a hand in this. But do the Euros know something about future fuel (abundant) fuel availability that we don't?
