LAX 787 "W" trips through DEN
Not in that BES but while browsing awards while waiting for mine, I noticed this...really just curious as to why LAX 787 crews fly DEN-LHR segments into day 6 while DEN has a 787 base.
There is obviously a good reason behind it but I must have slept through that "required" CQDL module.

DEN-LHR was originally planned to be seasonal and end on Oct. 26th. Back in August it was announced the the flight would continue the entire year. I would assume at some point the staffing would increase to cover all three flights (NRT, FRA & LHR).
It's pretty safe to assume that if LAX is getting W flying, they are overstaffed on the 787. Just one way to move the flying to where the bodies are. SSC report always talks about trying to limit W flying as much as possible.

Biggest reason is Lax is staffed for that 6 day trip because when they started Den-lhr it was seasonal and we didn’t have a Den 787 base. To give it to Denver minus any replacement flying in lax would cause a over staffing problem that would cost the company money.

Once LAX gets HND there should no longer be a reason for DEN not to fly LHR.
