just take a look at EWR-LHR or EWR-CDG.

Many of the PMCO 752's are used simply because that's what they have available in their BF-equipped fleet.
Quite true....but I also seem to recall that initially PMCO did not fly the 752s TATL into the larger markets such as LHR and CDG from EWR. Instead, they reserved their larger metal (777 & 764) for these routes.....
