You mean like ATL to TLV this winter on the 777? Nope, passengers now have to go on us to CDG or AMS and then connect on AF/KL. That plane is always full to TLV. But, the problem is our 777s are doing more NRT and 744 replacement flying thanks to the 744s getting mods (lie flat seats etc). It still is ridiculous.
