A mixed bag, as stated above, you’ll be able to get some LGW trips absolutely but think 3 day JFK, MCO, TPA, Caribbean with a shuttle etc. You won’t be getting sight of a Mon-Fri PUJ five dayer for a decade at least nor a 6 day MRU. But overall LGW trips are a poisoned chalice for a lot of the 777 pilots as it’s a pain to get to for anybody from the north (and for a few of the other commuters).
(Oh edited to say the new 787-10 IGW orders are in some part intended to replace the LGW 777 fleet. Now we know that BA will squeeze every last drop out of the -200ERs so this isn’t going to happen imminently or even in the next 3-4 years but, outside of that, all bets are off so if you’re planning to be LH for a long period of time and LGW trips are a deal breaker worth bearing in mind. Especially as dual fleeting the 777/787 appears pie in the sky and dead in the water at this point.)
