Of course, and further, the demand for "F" tickets is probably not the primary determinant of whether AA uses a 763 or 777 on a given route. Taking range out of the equation, the 777 has 75% more premium class seats (they can oversell J and op-up to F as necessary), a slightly larger capacity in the economy cabin, and a larger cargo capacity.
