was looking up a flight to LAX & came across EUROATLANTIC AIRWAYS 772 operating NAN/LAX 10DEC & LAX/NAN 10DEC for FJ, but could not see any other sectors using this 772.

If one of FJ's old 744's is in for maintenance which is done in SIN apaprently (SQ owns FJ's 744's), why only 2 sectors for YU 772 & why wouldn't FJ use one of owners aircraft (QF owns nearly 50% of FJ & NZ something like 4%) & at that time of year, before Xmas rush, doubt if any QF nonstop service to LAX from BNE, SYD or MEL would be anywhere near full. Couldn't QF simply do a quick stop in NAN en route ?

Also just noticed that for 10DEC NAN/LAX the FJ 744 is still showing as operating but at 7.30am instead of 10.50pm.

more YU flights for FJ

just noticed YU's 772 is operating NAN/SYD/NAN 20+23NOV.

So what is this aircraft doing ?

Short term replacement for one of the FJ 744's which is being retired, possibly before 1st new A332 arrives ?
