Going Boeing, correct, I think four of the 777's were in service when he arrived, Godfrey had nothing to do with the ex EK 330's. In fact one of JB's stated aims on joining was to get rid of the 777's. He considered them too big, but sanity prevailed and he was convinced to let it run though rumour has it he did give it an internal drop dead date to improve otherwise it was for the chopping block. He cancelled the 6th firm aircraft and the options, I am assuming in a deal for more 737's.

I should have been more precise with my wording, Virgin domestic had 2 types before the change in CEO, the 777 operation, at that time, was considered separate.
