flyguykorea, any idea why Urumqi failed, could they have done better using an A300 or a 737-800/900.
That's a strange one because in my opinion, the A330-300 was always too much capacity for this route, but there are more than enough A300's around that could have been put on this route. I suspect something other than simply an oversupply of capacity and poor sales...
What destinations do the '777s go to
I'll take a stab.....many 777 destinations seem to alternate seaonally between the 744 and 777. Anyhow, they are: HNL, SEA, ORD, ATL, DFW, LAX, IAD, SYD, AKL, CHC, LHR, BKK, HKG, SIN, NRT, GUM, (the odd charter to LAS),...and so on...
As for the days off, yes I would say that the days off you have been quoted is realistic. Only exception would be in the event of a strike by the locals, then the rosters go out the window. Regular months are as stated.
