Rumor has it that the BCF line will start in 2012. The boss men over here (Purple) want to grow the airline with the 777, with the -F doing the ultra long range, the 200 LR replacing the MDs, and the A-model flying domestic. I flew with the former head of training and he claims part of our deal to buy the 777-F includes them starting a BCF line in 2012.
We run our 'dogs hard too! Looking back through the flight log it is rare to see more than a couple of hours off. The only time they get any real TLC is in heavy check at SIN or TPE. I'm not sure of our reliability but our Asia Mx is top notch.
