We have recently increased the MTOW on our 2007-2009 build 77Ws enabling higher payloads in particular cargo on our ultra-longhaul flights. With this increased MTOW you can expect to see much more flexibility in how the 77W/77L fleets are deployed. In addition during the retrofit period there will be some instances when the deployment is non-optimal.
