They also really only can make it on the Pacific trade where volumetric capacity is king. The Atlantic with denser cargo it is so much better to use 76/77. The 74’s on the Atlantic are largely filling an oversized niche and without that niche cargo which is limited the economics don’t work.

From a cargo guys perspective nothing is better then a 74 when you take money out of the picture. It does everything and then some.
