It's interesting that they aren't interested in selling some FCO-ADD RTs. I can understand Italy saying no potentially to FCO-IAD, but still! I'll bet it is the crazy departure/arrival times preventing them from having local traffic due to no customs officials being available.
On a random side note, before ET started using 777's on this route, they used to use 767-300ER's which needed to make the stop going both directions in FCO.
