I heard the comment about the 767 from 2 sources, 1 that works in at Heathrow and the same was in airliner world magazine. The article was about UA withdrawing from JFK and doing some slot exchanges with DL between JFK and EWR. UA ops were small at JFK anyway. But it went on to say 757s would be taken off TA and 767s put in their place.
Yes i've already said they have done this.
They are moving their ps operation to EWR from JFK and taking SOME 757's off transatlantic but as I just said earlier the British Isles will be staying 757.
The reason why they did this was due to complaints about fuel stops.
The Belfast route is not very busy. Dublin is 4 daily flights with United in the summer.
