And let me ask this, I haven't paid attention to the 755 category but is the plan still to have 76ERs in MSP and DTW flying to Asia and then the crews flying 757s while there? Thus no deadheading.
I understand that is the "goal". But, most of us think there is still too much south flying to have non-deadheads cover it. I think, if they are able to do it, it would result in shorter (6 maybe 9?) day trips. Also, I forget but isn't there a 35 in 7 rule for international? So no long trip with a PDX > NRT > BKK > NRT > PDX in it somewhere.
