That is a sweet ride! I might be able to hold the right seat of one in about 10 years.

I hope it goes so senior that I'll never be able to hold CAP on it! :D

Pay it A-380 rates and it will create a giant sucking sound out of LAX.

No doubt. CDG-SFS is longer than I can take in an aluminum tube. That will be a short turn for the 777. Probably will have a disputed pairing with same duty period MEM-HKG-TPE!

At RGS they mentioned that the staffing would be 20 per seat and because it would be doing mostly long haul flights, they we would need 4 crews per plane...that adds up to a lot of FO's serving coffee;)

CDG-CAN will most likely only require 3 pilots since it is 1.3 hours closer to CDG than SFS. CAN-MEM will require 4.

Sounds painful. They will optimize it so they can give you a 24 hour layover and get you back before they have to reset you, just like they do in the Mad Dog out of ANC right now.

You can bet on that!
