By using the 744 and 742 (and even DC-10) to their fullest on Pacific routes, Northwest has completely avoided the 777. An interesting strategy... 777 are very expensive birds after all.

Actually, UA flies more than twice as many as NW does (if you don't include the currently inactive 742s).

>here is one in the new livery..are they too using on their Pacific routes.<
For a while, the 744s were almost exclusively trans-pacific, with 777s doing the atlantic. Since some of the 777s were RTL, the 744s have been seen back on trans-atlantics, including on SFO-LHR, IAD-LHR and IAD-FRA
