Good news if you're on the 380 yeah. Another 2 good trips bite the dust for us on the 777. :{
As for rumours, I've heard all 3 Gatwicks, 1 Birmingham, the 2 remaining Frankfurts and possibly a Glasgow by the end of the year. And of course the existing US destinations will transfer over to the 380 once they have the planes. Still, there's always the freighter......:ugh:

no no, the john deere drivers always say the 380 is going to leave EK because the 777 is making all the money, it will only be a matter of time when all the good trips will be back on the boeing ;-)
that a zillion of 777 drivers sign up for the 380 is just a myth

That has to be a record. First post in reply and we're already into the world's most boring conversation.

It was said in a another thread that out of the remaining 18 -300ERs to be delivered, there are still some -351.5t aircraft.
There is already slack in the 36 strong fleet of 349/351.5t MTOW aircraft, and besides GRU/SEA/IAD/BOS/ADL/ORD(May 1st) does any other route require anything above 340t on a regular basis?
If indeed there are a few more -300ER's coming with the highest MTOW option (last was -EGI), they must have something planned with them.
It has been said that capacity will be doubled to the U.S. over the next 2 years. DFW/SFO/IAH going to the A380 has certainly been a increase in capacity, however they will have to increase frequencies.
Back to double LAX and/or IAH? (Additional frequencies on the -300ER?)
Nice and Dublin are on the A380 way apparantly....
