I heard leased 330s. Which make a whole lot more sense, I think 777s this late in the game are a bit of a stretch...
I hope this is not that " Old Technology" crap. 55 Airlines around the world use these machines and boeing has orders for over 1000 Triplers

No wonder boeing are VERY reluctant to even consider a 787-10 version and undermine this market.

Qf has always had the issue of not one particular variant of the Tripler filling enough roles well enough though. But at the right price the economics might add up. Buying just to compete with VB is a hollow argument. Most LA's are full- reducing capacity to the US is not a smart strategy.
