Please use this link to your airline:

Regarding the aircraft, wait a short while. Your DOP is at 16 million, that is really low for those bases you have. If you really want those routes, choose the 777-200ER. The 747-400 will kill your airline, especially with a DOP this low.

Expect the 777 to make ~300 000 a day - that should be a lot less than you A319's. The 777 won't be able to make two US-Asia routes, so consider replacing some of your high-profit US-EU routes from the 330 to the 777 to use up all the hours on the 777. You can also make domestic flights.

I hope this helped :)

Agree.

Another suggestion: Don't start long haul.... yet. Your DOC is very low. If I were you, I will wait till at you reach at least 50 Million... It will be beneficial in the long run.
