So what would you suggest they use the 741/743 aircraft for?
The 777 operates PEW due to a double crew requirement, crews refuse to overnight there and i cant say that I blame them.
744 will replace 743 to Lahore to free the 743 to operate Indonesian Hajj, expect it to change back again. 777 to operate JFK to free 744 for LHE and LHR.
The fact of the matter is that the Classic 747 is a 450 seater money spinner, its going no where for quite a while.
