It did get announced that the 747-400 will be re-appearing at Seattle. Starting next June, Delta will fly SEA-NRT using it.
dasleben, Derg can probably give you a better answer since he flies it and all, but from riding the SouthernJet's JS lately...the pilots have said the 76 with winglets has roughly 13-13.5 hr endurance with a 1hr reserve.

767-300ER....COMPLETELY different performance than 767-300 that you see domestically.

That's just, like, your opinion, man
We run -300ERs as well (no winglets), and 13.5 hours with a load in the back and legal reserves would be quite a stretch, particularly westbound across the NOPAC. The winglets must help a lot. I'm trying to think back to civilian loads, but with any appreciable headwind, I still don't think we could do it. -200ER would probably do it, though.

I wish there were good 767s to HNL!

The ER is nice because it has 2 JS's up front, and I have yet to have a Captain that didn't tell me to go take a crew rest seat and hangout there. The cargo hold bunks are pretty awesome. Hell, Delta treats me awesome, Period.
Also being speculated today around SEA, there's an order for 26 737MAX's to an undisclosed carrier...talk is, it's Alaska...
(Kinda hoping it's a pretty vanilla event tomorrow, if there is one)

A 767 will do almost 12 hours, but man, you'd better have your passenger and cargo load in order!
And the non-revs better have some ZED passes ready.
Unfortunately, yes.
"load optimization" largely means, "to hell with your travel benefits you paid for, this shipment of socks is more important than you are, but there's no money in cargo so we're shuttering our freight operation, embrace the suck".

Yep...saw it yet again with MUC-ATL last week. Not sure why I even bothered! 8 seats open, no matter. I knew I should have slept in and just shown up well-rested for the Lufthansa flight at 15:55 we ended up on.
The most extreme one I've seen was PEK-NRT. I got the last seat and there were 27 seats left open. Three hour flight: weight restricted!!

Maybe a preplanned apology on why the Alaska computers have been down all morning.

Not AS/QX fault...Sprint had a fiber line get cut at 7.40am that feeds our IMAGE system. Thus the entire operation is at a standstill...I was supposed to fly a Spokane turn and now I sit at home released.
