Not sure that is a universal truth any more, certainly not for the bigbus vs the T7. Whilst each sector is different and different companies have different cruise speed /cost index policies in general from what I’ve seen on ultra longhaul routes a 380 will almost certainly be flying a higher Mach number than a 772 and probably be flying a higher Mach number than a 77W....
