This thread is great for potential joiners but lets at least keep to the facts.
CSA have 12 77F's and 10 77W's. 7 77F's fly from PVG and the rest out of CAN so 10 77W's and 5 77F's. So to say most trips start and finish out of PVG is clearly incorrect as you can see. Actually MOST 777 flying is out of CAN and not PVG. Sometimes yes you will have to DH with the crew to PVG but definitely not 'most trips'.
Also as you can see the split of cargo/pax aircraft is almost 50/50 so again saying '777 is mostly cargo' is also drivel.
777 EU RSP guys do mainly cargo as the only flights on 777 to EU are cargo. However those based in CAN on 20/10 do mainly pax flying.
There is a lot of truth on this thread so lets try and keep it that way for potential joiners.
