No, no CX JBV/ATI.
As far as utilization of the 77W, I think we'll find an extremely clever and "tight" use of this 77W-- involving other LAX 77W(s)-- such that they get a
lot of bang for the buck, utilization-wise, relatively speaking. If that's "enough" to make this route work in light of the direct competition from CX, that remains to be seen. But in terms of maximal utilization, they've definitely got that nailed on this one.
Nailed it. The LAXHKG will slide in perfectly with the DFWHKG and LAXSYD or LAXLHR. Essentially scheduled this would be just 1 extra frame (not 2) and actually slide into a gap in the CX schedule
