Give me one good reason why they would need a SFO 756 or 76T base in SFO if CDG goes to the 787. They will be able to staff all the flying with EWR and LAX. Not saying its going to close but without JFK, SFO and/or LAX become redundant.
There is just not that much 757 flying going around to have EWR,DCA,ORD,IAH,LAX,SFO. Something is going to give.
