However I think this is in anticipation of all US routes being 77A, on vertain days 888/889 will be on 77A.
Yes, at least the date I checked in the fall was showing all 77A, and the schedule is now such that
none of the CX equipment needs to sit on the ground in JFK more than 2-3 hours. 840 arrives late evening and goes out a few hours later as 889. 830 arrives early afternoon and goes out a few hours later as 831. 888 arrives early morning and goes out a few hours later as 841.
Brilliant!
