Not sure I follow? We also have an MD base in SDF, don't we? From what I've been hearing they might be pulling a few more MDs from domestic trips strictly for the sdf-cgn crossings. Some direct and some via PHL. They don't want to spend more money than absolutely necessary on the 76 rest modules and 74s make much more money in Asia.
Of course, I'm frequently wrong and tomorrow they'll probably announce 3x daily 74 flights connecting sdf with cgn.
