Hopefully, They switch the 772ER to JFK-TLV. To compete
DL is smarter to deploy the 772LR on routes than TLV as DL needs the LR for longer routes. The 772ER can do the route just fine.

Actually, JFK-TLV is being flown by a 767-300ER, is that correct?

Correct. MCOflyer was misunderstood. JFK-TLV will be a 763ER, and the 772ER from ATL-JFK-BOM will be put on ATL-PVG. Unless DL drops a 777 route, JFK-TLV will remain a 763ER for the foreseeable future.

Yes. Only 777 route out of JFK is to BOM and that will be with the new 77L. It will be a mix of a 77L and 77ER until the second one comes. The two 77ER's will re-deploy on the ATL-PVG route. DL is opening a pilot base for the 777 in NYC. I imagine once a few more 777's hit the fleet, you can expect JFK-NRT that was alluded to in a DL confrence call last year.

Why don't you compare the number of windows between the trailing edge of the wing, and the first (R4) door just behind it. Look for a e.g. KLM 773ER from the same site, and you'll see the difference. Somebody mentioned in the other thread that there is another similar picture of the 9W plane, but the picture referred above is a LR.

Calm down Shamu I know its a Boeing 777-200LR. I was just messing around with 777STL since in this thread, Unidentified 777-300ER @ Boeing Field ( Pic ), 777STL believed that the primer 777 in that photo was the first DL 777-200LR which he was wrong about since that was a 9W 777-300ER. And yes FFlyer, I was the one who gave the evidence of why it was not a DL 777-200LR on that thread.
Yes, it can, but the problem is, it likely couldn't do TLV-JFK . Unless of course with restrictions on cargo and/or pax, that obviously makes the 764 unattractive for this route.

Damn things looked identical to me. I didn't care enough examine the other picture in Photoshop like somebody else did.
Reading down through the thread I also saw something about the new 77L being used for the JFK-BOM op which answers that question. So if they have two coming ... one for PVG and the other for BOM?
