Isn't that more predicted ?

No, all BA 747s are already gone.

NO, I meant wasn't that pretty much anticipated ? Maybe bought forward

Yep, the operating economics are ****ed due to the 4 engines.

Its almost all twins now for passenger flights.

Even the A380 isnt being made anymore for the same reason.
