I agree with Sheikh Your Bootie. Those Boeing pilots that now think they will be able to say goodbye to night turnarounds, could be rather disappointed. A quick look at my logbook shows that nearly all of my night turns in the past few months have been very busy if not close to full. Therefore I can't see the company being in a rush to reduce capacity with using a 330, when demand is already buoyant.

Perhaps the 330 is going to be better suited to plying routes with weaker demand and maybe suck up some of FlyDubai's best performing routes to the likes of Europe etc? I think the 777 will have its share of turns at the back of the clock for some time to come.
