The 773 would carry 301 passengers and 4400 lbs of cargo, does that seem right? Of course this doesn't seem to be the 300ER either.
hmmm. more google searching.
Your reading the charts wrong. Use the chart for the 300ER not the base 300. Note the range each aircraft reaches a passenger only load not including cargo. Keep in mind those are weight only cargo capacities. The 777 has more cube which is what normally get used up first on mid range flights.
