According to the FAQs because the 787s require less maintenance they'll be able to fly more passengers. Not sure how that works given the 747s pretty much arrive everywhere and turnaround and depart immediately after (except for HND) but I'm no genius.
Reckon the training system's under pressure now? This announcement has just dropped AT LEAST 260 additional movements (minus a few inevitable retirements) in to the system in the next two and a half years. That's roughly 10 a month on average, more if the RIN results in displacements and further residuals. Not sure how the system will cope. Not well, would be my conclusion at this point.
