No one habibis, has answered this. Where in the world are they going to get 777 rated crews to fly 13 777F's??? That is to say based on 10 crews/aircraft, maybe a bit less. give or take 250 rated 777 drivers. Where are they going to find them??? without a magic wand?
Thats right, ex EK pilots, and thats about it. Maybe a few ex Korean, maybe ex Chinese airlines. Where will they base them, the sandpit. Same same, no point leaving EK.

It will never happen, just an idea that grew legs into a great rumour.

The Freighter operation is inefficient, and needs revision. Maybe we could elect to fly a month of 777F, instead of RSV. Would suit me.
