I understand DL has applied for SEA-HND and also PVG but no idea what the timeline is on those and whether they will be Airbus or 767...
There is a long held rumor that ultimately, 7ers are going to do asia and A330's are going to do Europe, Africa, Latin America. IMO, the shift will occur over time based on the economies involved.
