I know in IAD the 777 does nothing but extreme long haul like China, Kuwait, Dubai, and Japan with LHR being the only "short hop".
Actually I don't consider our Tel Aviv or your Kuwait and Dubai long haul. My normal schedule of India and China means I am only working 9 days a month. This means more pilots. Someone flying Tel Aviv needs to fly 12 or more days a month.

I think Kuwait and Dubai are just as long as going to Narita.

Todd,
It doesn't mean more pilots. Block hours means more pilots.
