That article paragraph is incorrect.THE 777 is the larger with 370 pax not the 330-300 which seats 302 pax.
So i reckon the author in travelweekly, which this article came from, may be wrong,i think he got it around the wrong way.
If Sydney are supposedly to lose 2 flights would you not expect them to get the larger aircraft to try to balance out the seat loss from losing 2 flights.Also as mentioned in a earlier thread that MEL loads are not good then you would expect a smaller aircraft .
I think you will find the new BNE flights will be 333's.
