ZRH seems to get 789 or 77W depending on the season whereas MUC gets the 333's and 77W's for some reason. Maybe the faster 789 keeps the time below where an extra flight crew member is required to ZRH but that MUC is just that tiny bit over the limit.

I can also see the 333's being deployed on some of the more popular "sun" routes next winter.
