Theoretical LAX-GUM nonstop aircraft requirements
Say if for some reason, UA were to decide to launch a LAX-GUM nonstop, what plane in UA's fleet would be capable of handling it?

LAX-GUM comes in at 6089 miles, so that would rule out the 77A, and I'm guessing it'd rule out the 764 as well, could the 763 make it or would that be a stretch as well on the westbound leg? Would LAX-GUM only be viable on a 787-8 given that it'd probably be a long and thin route? Would there be enough demand to fill up a 777-200ER?
