If UA is going for 2 x 777s only , that is a real reduction in terms of seating and seat comfort as well as decreased upgrade availability.
Three flights per day to Australia would be ok but 2 !!!
My hope at this point is that this becomes seasonal
777's during australian offpeek winter and 747's during aussie summer
from a buisness standpoint this makes some sense and also explains why they are not doing it effective much sooner then april next year
I do have a question around Pilot rest though....
do the SUA 777's have a bed area like the 747's do?
or are we going to lose a F seat to them as well?
