So I've been reading all these posts about equipment downgrades and how many flights (particularly transpacific) are moving from the 747 to the 777.

As I don't know much about airline management and cost structure, I'm wondering what it is about the 777 that makes it less costly to operate then the 747? I'm assuming loads aren't a problem, or are they?

So glad I found this site. Incredibly informative and fun to read!
