777F MGTOW = 766k lbs
777-300ERSF MGTOW = 775k lbs
Would be a good jet for routes where cube out occurs before weight becomes limiting.

Thank you! That’s what I thought I’d heard, but I flew with a captain last week who said she “canceled the last 4”. Think he just misspoke! Would have been myopic to cancel anything IMHO. Should have taken the last 4. Sometimes bigger is better.

doesn't an airline need to place orders for new jets ahead of time, before you actually need them?
3 years is not very far away in aviation terms.
introducing a new aircraft model (777, etc.) into the fleet, doesn't that require FAA sign-off of the training program, revisions to ops-specs, sims, maintenance policies, etc? again, 3 years.
will be interesting to see how this plays out
