Since Delta did not recieve the rights for JFK-GIG what will they do with the 2 767-300ER's which would have been dedicated to the route? Maye steal a 777 from another route and do JNB OR SYD?

Both routes would require ( beside getting the traffic rights , ask SQ on OZ-USA 
) a 772ER or A 345 ( SA is doing the JNB-ATL route with a 345 )
Sticker price of those birdies is close to $ 200 million, the Airbus is cheaper, but more costly to operate.What is better for an airline may come down to accounting and the market conditions how to get a loan / or leasing conditions.
If you fly a subfleet of a handful of aircrafts it is already not profitable anymore in most cases...
