I doubt now is the right time to be launching new routes, especially long haul ones. EWR was supposed to happen a few months back. It came to a point where we were already deciding on a crew hotel, but since the economy went down once again, that has been put off for the time being. DFW is rumoured to be our next destination in North America and Santiago in South America to connect with LA's network. Like I say, those are just rumours for the time being.

As far as the 77G on SFO, that should just be temporary as we try to put a consistent premium product on the route. Our fleet will consist of 10 77G's. (Planned at the moment). So once we retrofit more 77D's to 77H, we will put back F on the route. This just a measure so all routes have a consistent product. A reason why we are cutting back on some routes. Like the 884/885, I believe that is just a temporary measure. We still have factory fresh 77D's and 77D retrofits to be retrofitted. By middle of next year, all 77W's by then should the new product across all classes.
