Does the 330 do as good a job cost wise on EU routes that 7ER's can easily do as well?

I'm not saying a version of this rumor won't happen. I just don't see why it would happen. Unless, as it kind of appears, USAir is burning furniture to heat the house and we figure its going to be us that benefits rather than someone else.
It is Route Authorities. Many of them are not city pair specific. For example we moved one of our Brazil authorities from ATL to DTW.
