They essentially should not rely on the 77Ws as CI is using and Starlux will use the A350 which offer better passenger comfort.
Part of how BR managed such a massive expansion that was profitable in North America was cargo. They axed cargo flights and instead relied on 77W belly's to pick up the slack. Their flight economics remain under this model even today. Once all 77Fs are on property, they will have had a net loss of two cargo planes.
