The idea is yield per seat. They have looked at the 777-300 and I would venture to bet that the decision or at least the appearance of the decision to keep the 744's around longer is for one of three reasons 1) the ROI is just not there and 2) Boeing is being stubborn on price 3) We can fill the 744 up and make money with it!
