So you take a 3 class 777, and charge a premium to the current J fares, for those that wish to travel in long-haul J.

I wouldnt be surprised (speaking for myself). There are new 777s arriving this winter and with no LH expansion planned to any degree it may just work. Additionally the morning DME round trip could actually be squeezed into a Early arrival/late departure long haul rotation for a non F 777 (if there are any).
