777s are more profitable flying international than domestic/HI. I’d guess that if the demand is there and borders are open for international travel, the lieflat 772s will be put back to international use primarily. They can always make up the domestic capacity with more narrowbody flights as demand warrants.

Skeptical part of me wonders how much of this this announcement is more to put pressure on Boeing/help AA in negotiations over comp. I’m sure there’s more follow up to this announcement at some point.
