Every other carrier can figure out where to fly the 777, but for some reason, Delta cannot. A buddy of mine at AA asked me why we don't fly them to Europe. I said, "We do fly to Europe...we fly right over Dublin, London, Paris, and Frankfurt, then we keep going 6 more hours to land in Dubai!"
The only 'good news' I've heard from the LCA's is that the 777 will be going to London come May or June, after they've added more seats, and that Boeing was in ATL a few months ago, pitching the 777-300 as the replacement to the 747.
Replacement jets, not growth jets.
We have yet to see an A/E replacing the retiring 777/747 Capts.
