Check Trips, it's not as dramatic. ADL no blockage the next weeks, IAH and DFW 20 seats, MCO 30. But you're right, the T7 has its limitations. It delivers the promised performance nicely though, but EK simply takes it further than designed, therefore some blocked seats. But that's what i mentioned with wrong airframe for wrong destinations: It was not constrained to Airbus! The difference is that a T7 will not punish you as much as a 380 when not full, just as a 330 will punish you even less. It all comes down to what i always said (and the dugong fans never gave me credit for): The 380 has its profitable routes, but not as many as EK thought and Airbus pretended.
A healthy mix gives each airframe a reasonable chance to be profitable. Therefore i welcome the 787 order over more and too many dugongs.
