Ok the CX mgmt person that I spoke with didn't say that it 'doesnt have enough legs', but just that it is not efficient. I assume its not possible to fly a 35G with a full load and a full belly of cargo all the way to EWR. Perhaps this ocurrence is as rare as it gets, (knowing that EWR is [still] one of the most poorly performing routes across the network).

I'll now have to pray that ORD does not get 35G...

Also, am I the only one that sees the 35G potentially getting to JNB? I would have thought it would come a long way before EWR. But both loads and cargo are good over there (don't know about yields)...
