Some more trivia;
the customer code of Austrian Airlines is B8, so this will be a 777-2B8ER. The earlier 777s were 2Z9ERs. The interesting thing is that this code was allocated in the late 1960s already (compare to MEA (B4), KAL (B5), RAM (B6) which bought their first new Boeings around 1968). Probably Austrian was close to buy 737s or 727s at that time. Since then, the code B8 was always a mystery number in Boeing customer lists. Finally this is the first Boeing ever delivered to Austrian.
nobody has ever died from hard work, but why take the risk?

So where will they fly this aircraft ?
I know they will discontinue SYD and KUL but not until the end of March. What routes will get the 777 until then in addition to the ones that see it now ?

Quoting JMO-777 (Reply 6): SIN,KUL,MEL & SYD will all be discontinued from 24.3.07.
That is true, however there some rumors that they reevaluating those routes, since there were some errors while calculating the actual value of the route and it might be that they will restart.... but this is just a rumor....
Quoting LTU932 (Reply 7): And more trivia: Z9 is the customer code for NG.
and there won´t be any deliveries with Z9 anymore. Thank god!
Quoting JMO-777 (Reply 6): NRT, BKK and either JFK or IAD (I don't remember the one exactly).
IIRC also KTM will see some 777 flights.
BKK will see it as well as IAD. JFK will see it seasonally as there will be twice daily flights with 767.

Yep, it seems that some Moron outside OS forgot that Cargo should be included into Earnings as well. At the End Austrians Flights to OZ WERE profitabel.
Now OS has two Problems.
1. No available Aircrafts after getting rid of the A332/A342/A343
2. to reinstall Flights to OZ without loosing their Face

Quoting Legoguy (Reply 14): Just a quick question about the 772ER's... Whats the largest engine you can get on a 772ER? Is it the same as the engines found on the 772LR?
Largest in size, or the engine with the highest thrust rating?
When it comes to size: the GE-90 is the biggest, while the Trent 800 is the smallest.
The 772LR uses the GE-90-110B/115B1, while the 772ER uses the GE-90-85B/92B/94B, P&W 4084/4090 or RR Trent 884/892/895 engines.
The GE-90-94B has the highest thrust out of the engines available for the 772ER (if you exclude the P&W 4098.)
25 OHLHD: 1:0 for you! great choice I guess Good that that somebody else heard that rumor..... Hmmm, F/A will be more than happy and for most of the passenger
26 VORFMD: As far as I know the last Word isn´t spoken. That means it is possible that the A332 won´t leave the Fleet. IF OS keep their A332 we can see a litt

36 Legoguy: Hey thanks for your help. I ment the largest in size. So the GE-90-110B/115B1 is the same size as the GE-90-85B/92B/94B? I believe the 777 looks grea
37 ZKNBX: Yes I agree. It is deplorable, and I for one, will not be choosing to fly any B777 aircraft in 3+4+3 on a long haul sector, if I can possibly avoid i
38 Brendows: The GE-90-110B/115B1 is a bit larger, by a couple of inches if I recall correct. You're welcome

58 OHLHD: I agree very much with you! Flights in general from EU to PVG are full. Just charge the passenger more! Well obviously it is to late anyway.
