The 777 gets the other PVG from the 400 in early October I think. My back of the napkin math estimates sfo 777 will need about another 150 FO's. Probably at least 30-40 Captains beyond the current vacancy bid. Does anyone know where the new 787's are going? SFO 787 must be getting pretty full.
November starts SFO AKL 787 and a second AKL 3 times a week, also 787. It's in res now. SYD has not been updated yet but the mechanics in SYD told me about the 777 about a month ago.
777-300 services 8 cites with 18-19 airframes.
