It will be on a 3-cabin 772.

I'm glad to hear that TATL flying on the 752 is actually not so ridiculously reprehensible any more as previous posts have suggested.

Why do you believe that the claims that they were losing money on the canned routes were false?

These cuts were coming anyways. The Hobby thing was seen by some as a convenient excuse to shift the blame for the cuts. Reality is they were almost certainly happening anyways.

Or, you know, choosing to stem the bleeding on routes where they were losing money anyways. The idea of optimizing passenger flow over the network is very real.
