We could probably have bases in HNL, LHR, and NRT. But when we are flying 757, 767, 777,787, and 747, all to HNL and LHR, how would you open a base? It is way too complicated, with too many moving parts.
350's and 777's are so similar in size and mission, we should pick one and trade the others to another carrier with similar merger related fleet issues like American or Delta.
You are probably right and agree with your assessment but my prediction WILL come true because we are United Airlines (at least with Jiffy Jeff at the helm)
