Alas Dave, I fear you are correct. With Air New Zealand it's always been about the range and not the capacity. Up until this lastest crop of ETOPS Twins, the 744 was the only real option for them but now the 77W (and the 77E to some extent) steps into the breach with great ecomomics and also good cargo capabilty. I suspect the 787-9 will also take care of a lot of their long haul - geez, witn NZ, almost anywhere is long haul
