I think it’s kinda obvious at this point the 339 is challenged on most routes that are not east coast-Europe/ S.A. But given the new weights we have on the 359s I wonder if it would be worth carrying the extra capacity on routes with more 350s given it gives us more flexibility with higher D1 configuration and more cargo capacity. There is definitely a marginal cost to carrying the extra capacity, but that also means more revenue capability. Plus we don’t have to deal with the cost of standing up a new fleet.

Is there much the 787 can do that the 350 cannot?
