That's not what I'm hearing... Just that the 77L and 77W are TC's babies
Commercially; I've yet to see 345 lose payload just to carry the fuel required... And that's 7 years of flying 345!!!! I hear 777 hard pressed to carry just the commercial load out of IAH, LAX, SFO and even JFK
345 makes it no sweat
and it's a pleasure to fly
