I'm sure I'm misinterpreting that/ reading it wrong, just wanted to make sure! That this is a regular post-CIP 772 w/ the fore/aft seats (N756AM 7BR) |

No, the J cabin is distinct between the 772 and 77W, but from what I understand the Y cabin is indistinguishable unless one goes through the trouble of counting the rows.

The 77D in forward Y-cabin/MCE is configured 3-3-3 and aft Y-cabin is 3-4-3. The 772 on AA since initially entry into service in 1999 has been 2-5-2 (even as many carriers have transitioned to 3-3-3 including DL & UA). Just curious what you mean by indistinguishable-seats, seat cushions, IFE, wifi, in-seat AC power are all pretty significant changes IMO. |
If anyone is curious why AA sometimes subs a 777, think about what industry and company dominate. Not all cargo fits into an S80. This certain company has an agreement for oversized non-critical, non-valuble (<$100K) mass.

Precisely.
AA can do a quick turn on the plane and rather fly it to say JFK for aircraft utilization sake, it's less of a gamble for AA to fly a quick MIA-MCO. Especially with the dicey weather, and ATC delays that JFK has. Even if weather were to pop up, a delay is more manageable on a quick MIA-MCO hop. [especially with padding built into the schedule] Also the weather in MCO is usually less dicey than at JFK. AA has been running two 763's on the short MIA-MCO route since at least the beginning of 2015, so perhaps Disney, Universal, Darden or another company with a large presence in Orlando uses AA for Cargo. AA can pick up/drop off cargo on their own flights into MIA as well as other carriers that serve MIA [including some Latin American carriers that only serve MIA].

Disney and other prominent Orlando companies were mentioned up-thread for cargo ops....
https://www.aacargo.com/downloads/sc...ngSchedule.pdf There have been periods where MIA-MCO was nothing but AB6s, and there were periods where MIA-MCO was nothing but 757s. At other times, several daily 763s. Now, occasional 777s. With hundreds of connecting passengers every day between MIA and MCO, AA flies a lot of seats on this route, sometimes on 777s. |
I have always had a 757 on. This route, but a 777 makes it interesting. ..
