If DTW shrank as a hub, it wouldn't have much of anything to do with the 747s going away. There have already been times where there was only one or two 747 departures per day.
The fact of the matter is, there needs to be a link to Asia that is geographically more desirable than ATL or NYC. DTW is it.
