Looking at TPE-LAX, it looks like they are planning to switch at least four or five of their 747's to 777's throughout 2007. Which I assume would mean they will have four or five spare 747's they would want to do something with. Maybe they will send them to you.

I also see a "74W" on the schedule TPE-LAX beginning 29/05. I have never seen this before and they don’t have a seat map associated with it. When the 777's were first coming on-line they called them "77W" with no seat map and now they call them “B777-300”. Probably nothing, but I am wondering what the heck a "74W" is, and how is it different from a "B747-400" or a "B747-4E" so as to get it’s own designation.

Finally, I have learned that relying on the long term schedule to predict aircraft type is not much good. As the 777's were coming on-line LAX-TPE, I booked five different flights on 777's before I actually flew on a 777. Aircraft type subject to change.

I like the 777's but I would definitely like to see and upgraded 747 as well.
