767-400

why aren't airlines buying 767-400's there's only been two airlines that have ordered it delta and continental,I think it's a great plane and will provide excellent proforamce for any airline,I know things are shaky right now and airlines can't buy new planes beause of the economic conditions but even before all this the 767-400 sales weren't great,if no new orders come in boeing might stop production,so why aren't airlines buying this great aircraft it dosen't make any sense?

Good question... I really like B767-400s as well, but I talked to my
friend at Boeing told me that this is the part where A330-300s
comes in and Airbus is doing well...

Pound for pound the A330 is a better aircraft than the 764. The A330 is an odd plane: it is inferior to the 777 in range, capacity, and overall performance, but it's better than the 764 in those same categories. Tough call on that one.
