I’m saying kick off sunrise with ex VA 777s as a way of getting the fleet established. Sims, crews, it (the 777) flying and then start introducing the new toys to the longer routes.
Right now the 787 is too small for Santiago, hasn’t got the etops for joburg (and is too small) and the Japanese don’t want the A380 in Haneda,
