Now, let's talk about pay rates. Go check the A330 pay rate vs. the 747.
The A330/350 order was stated by Richard to be a 'replacement' order, for the 767ER's.
Do not confuse Replacement with Growth. They are not the same.
Agree with your main points, but for accuracy, the A350/330 order's press release stated that the order was intended to replace the 747s and SOME 7ERs, not all. They always leave themselves some wiggle room, and there it is.
