It is SSDD. Ive been thinking about bidding the 330.
I'm still okay with transatlantic flying, too, but I'm finding that the IST/ SVO/ ATH trips are just too long for me. I really don't look forward to 777 flying, but the increased pay would hopefully allow for an earlier retirement. It would be nice to see 777s flying to Europe (as most other airlines do). I take it that you don't see that as a possibility?
