I also went to significant lengths to find out about the inference so as not to look ignorant and was quite happy to discover that 'Cb' refers to Cumulonimbus clouds in aviation, which as I understand is one of the very dangerous scenarios for turbulence and should not be flown into.
Now I discover this was a double entendre referencing a field of knowledge that I have no experience of... Great.

As discussed in another thread, Vistara might get some of the old 772s to begin long haul operations, which does answer the question of why they are bothering to reupholster and improve IFE in such old planes with 787s on the way.
If that's the case they might well be skipping SCX as well since this means their major competitior 'CX' - Cathay Pacific.

SCX won't happen regardless of CX. No SQ registrations ever use X.

I hope the new regional J will be a game changer in the 787-10! The projected Entry into Service is Jan 2018 and training has already commenced for the 787-10. This aircraft is rumoured to start serving all North Asian routes progressively.

some interesting info from 787 blog....
http://nyc787.blogspot.sg/2017/10/bo...ction-787.html
ZC003 (LN 622, 9V-SCB) will undergo painting followed by extensive ground testing for the remainder of the year. According to sources it will then be placed into storage until March where it will then undergo flight tests starting approximately in mid March. It will continue testing activities into April and there appears to be a tentative delivery time frame of mid to late April 2018.
Oddly this aircraft may not be the first 787-10 delivered to Singapore but the second one. ZC004 (LN 656) is tentatively scheduled to be delivered in March but that may change. This aircraft is not due to start final assembly until late November/early December. I'm pretty certain ZC003 will join the flight test program late in the 1st quarter of 2018 thus this is the reason why it would be delivered after ZC004.

I'm assuming we'd be expecting it to be a route that currently gets the A330 and that SQ want to impress or are faced with competition on.

I secretly hope they deploy it to CHC.
