Any info on how often these transcons gets subbed out with an international 763? I've never seen or heard of it before this thread. I would think it's a pretty rare thing, mostly for aircraft repositioning.
If a 75E goes tech and there is no spare they will grab an international 763 if available though sometimes they will take a 75X or even a 757 WITHOUT AVOD. I have also seen them change a flight to an international 763 around busy times such as Thanksgiving. Also seen it done where they have had to replace a 75E with a non-BE equipped plane (more likely if there is a heavy paid BE crowd)
