There isn't free widebodies at the moment and/or crew.

If a plane is on the ground doesn't mean they widebody crew to staff it. Part of the time of bringing back 777s is recertifying flight & cabin crew on the 777 & back filling the crew on the types they are coming from. This shuffle can be a long chain of retrainings.

Also looking where crew are want to run rotations where crew working every flight & not deadheading as don't want ot waste duty hours at the moment.
