ACMS,
If a 777 was to only carry 25t it's owner would go broke. It would have 150 empty seats and no cargo on board. It would be limited to 45t on a 14hr sector. Doing a comparison on such a tiny payload is a waste of time. Why not do the comparison on real world numbers, ie real revenue amount carried, including the extra 100 pax on the 777? You need almost 2 787 flights to carry the 777 load in the example given.
But I get it. Its shiny, it's new, and it's finally got some modern stuff in it. Doesn't seem to like flying close to track much when there is weather around, so lucky it's got that 30min head start.
The don
