Do you read anything other than the forums? The 777x is struggling, again. If that thing darkens anyone’s doorstep before the end of the decade I’ll be shocked. You’d have to be insane to “order” that thing. BA is a dumpster fire.

Geez

You use the word rare very oddly

Heya, Newhire here. I was curious how senior Denver is on the 78? I’m actually hoping to get widebody, trying to get an idea of difference in seniority/schedules/ trips/ etc on the 777vs 78, and ewr vs Sfo. Thanks!

Hopefully those options will be for 777-300’s and 777x’s. The 787 doesn’t replace the 777 and what I’d consider a light twin.

We could certainly STILL pick up a bunch of USED 777-300s (to replace the old 772), then later transition the entire 777 fleet to A350s.

The 787 is not in the same category as the 777-300 or A350...
