Pssst hey Jeffy... Take look at the 777 AKL-LAX disaster, the one where they took the 400 off that route and replaced it with the 777.

Would you please explain who "they" are? A non arrogant person like you surely wouldn't be placing blame on a whole group based on the words of a few would you?
Anyone know the payload/range differences between the LCAL 777 versus the LUAL ones?
I've never flown it, just curious...
I can remember when CAL started up EWR-HKG, a week later UAL did JFK-HKG with the 744 but it didn't work. word was the 744 had to carry so much fuel it restricted payload. There are probably several markets where swapping one 777 for another might work, and if the bean counters think so...it'll happen.
Would love to see the 747-8 on the property, a flagship for the biggest airline is only proper and if the 15% increase in efficiency is true then it would make buckets of $$$...apparently LH is very happy with their -8's
