I saw the news releases related to the expansion of cargo service in North America to Atlanta, Houston and Toronto. A few questions:

1. For the 777 pilots, are certain pilots dedicated to the cargo operation or do you fly a mix of passenger and cargo flights? If there is a mix, what is the typical mix percentage these days?

2. How much more growth is expected on the cargo side for the 777? How many more 777Fs arriving? Is this a big growth area for QR?

3. General question: what proportion of newhires at QR have gone to the 777 fleet in the last 12 months or so?


PMs also welcome. Cheers

1. You fly a mix of cargo, and passenger flights. You can bid for what you want. Sometimes you get a cargo flight even if you don't bid it

2. We have three 777 freighters now, and I think we have three more coming. I stand to be corrected.

3. I don't know.
