Addressing this from another angle there is also a business case at Waterside for bringing 77's from LGW to LHR and moving 74's to LGW. LGW offers shorter routes (less fuel) a greater saving on staff costs (CC are multi fleet) and with a pre-dominate LGW holiday routes structure the chance to offer higher discount to travel agents to fill the a/c up. Holiday punters tend to purchase a lot more in flite items. Both of the Florida services from LGW could easily fill a 74. Finally with the investment of £100 millions on the 'First' product a number of the 74's will not be upgraded due to their anticipated disposal within the next 5 years.
