Morno, reduce the pax load and the 777 will do east coast oz to New York or to London ok.

it will do it at 28-35000 ft but it will do it!

the pax load would be a fair bit lower than now and no freight, but it would be a way to dip the toe into the market I guess.

the A330-200 can and has done Europe to Melbourne direct, and can do it with about 35-40 punters. Obviously not enough to make a quid.
