I thought the discussion was the 777-200ER fleet. But even the non ER’s spent most of their life doing international flights from IAD and ORD, before being converted to the HD configuration. So they wouldn’t have anywhere near the cycles something like the JAL and ANA domestic widebody fleet would have.
