There are several routes where they would have absolutely no problem = filling a 747. YVR-NRT springs to mind. They could also reduce some of the frequencies between places like YYZ-LHR if they operated a larger = aircraft. Plus if they are getting the aircraft for a song their operating costs = would be significantly reduced.

I thought that they were trying to get rid of their larger a/c because they had a hard time filling them and their present = debt situation means that those beautiful birds are basically draining them? I'd be very surprised if this were true, but this business is full of surprises!
