That orphans the small 777-300ER fleet so they wind that down and park them. Hopefully something less disappointing than this happens. I want to be positive on the future of the company and I want to retire a widebody captain. But they need to demonstrate that they care about serious growth in that space and they absolutely have not at this point.
How many years are you projected to be a CLT WB captain (it was easier when myaacareer was running)? They will eventually replace all 777s with 787s until something better comes along.
