Plus the 767 has more cargo space for even more revenue. Is there such a thing as a 767 combi? I once flew on a KLM 747 and virtually the back half of the main deck was cargo space directly behind the passenger seats. USG might want to try that initially if they don't think they could fill all the seats.

A B767-300 can carry 124,000lbs of payload a B737MAX ain't even close. With 189 passengers on a MAX at 200LBS with their luggage that is 37,800 LBS leaving only 24,700 LBS for fuel not enough to go NY to LAX no less Europe. The Airplane was not made for the North Atlantic. So they will not fly with a full passenger load. For the B767-300, 230 passengers at 200LBS = 46,000LBS leaving 78,000ILB for CARGO[MONEY] to get to its Zero Fuel Weight 309,000LBS. Take off weight 400,000 to 412,000. So 91,000 to 103,000LBS of FUEL enough for ALL missions NY to Europe.

I made a math error the B737MAX could carry 38,200LBS of fuel still not enough with proper reserves especially with winter headwinds.
