I reckon there will be a lot of grief from this. Neither Lax or JFK managers want the 787 to replace the jumbo, they want more seats not less. The additional service in the afternoon is not the answer as pax can’t get connections to all points east in the USA. If you look at Melbourne loads instead of 90% plus load factors on the 380 the 787 service has dropped the 380 to about 70/75% load factor and similar for the 787. So now both services are not profitable IMO.
