You're making it sound like they don't cost any money to operate and more importantly MAINTAIN.

DO pilots throttle back when having strong tail winds or throttle up with strong headwinds? I remember having 200knots headwinds coming back form europe to the east coast. The 727 couldn't make it and a stop in gander for fuel caused everyone to miss connections.

I was surprised too but it's probably for training purpose. It can probably fly back and forth with no refueling, especially with no load.

This will disrupt a lot for a while. They either cut back drastically and then get caught when airlines revive quickly (which I think will happen later this year or next year if vaccinations turn out to be effective and no new strains ruin it) OR they could be in a slump for years to come. What happened to all the stories about airlines getting rid of their older planes even more quickly to switch to new and more efficient planes? All those 380's going to the scrapper? Thought the 777x was to replace those?
