Hmm, interesting. As the Italians say, "se non e vero, e ben trovato" (essentially, "if it's not true, it's a good story anyway!").
Just purely hypothetically, what could FR do with a high-density 777? Yes, of course they could do long-haul, but I'm wondering more about what their densest European sectors are in terms of number of daily flights. DUB-STN? Are there others which are dense enough for them to credibly replace several 738 flights by one 777 flight? It seems to me that relatively few routes on the existing network have this density. Or would they just launch a higher-density operation e.g. from STN to Malaga, Faro and Marseille?
