I still have to do the CAAC sim ride, but if successful, I would not know what to pick.
I like the B787 because it has LHR as a potential base, which is more convenient than FRA or AMS on the B777, although destinations and routes can change anytime. However I think the B777 would have more ways out if I was forced to change gigs in the future.
Also, as it is my understanding that we will always operate as part of a heavy crew with 2 full crews, I would think the B777 would be more comfortable for the relief sectors with the bunk beds on top, rather than the B787 which would be on first / business class, am I right?
Also I like the B777 cargo network, something that does not exist on the B787.
Any thoughts on this from the applicant crowd at CSA?
