It's also interesting that the 747-8I is being considered as the flagship model above the 77Ws...guess they need the extra capacity,
With all the capacity problems at MNL, plus Philippine Airlines themselves stating they would voluntarily decrease flights, moving to larger planes is probably the best solution.
