I note they have intended to run the A350 but I doubt it will be profitable, the aircraft is severely load limited on the route but that’s unlikely to be an issue post COVID 19 for awhile. The 777 has some saving graces freight wise although VA didn’t help things by going for the smaller cargo door to save a few $$$
