So basically the 777 officially replaces the -11 if they approve 100 total which is what we expected. Looks like about 15ish more airframes than the 777/11 total now but that makes sense with TNT and the whole total/operational fleet number deal. The 767 keep replacing MD10's and eventually the Bus which becomes the new 'flex' plane in the sense that it's around a lot longer than initially projected. Makes sense that they would go with a younger, two engine airframe that's pretty much interchangeable with the 767 capacity wise in that role. Of course we won't order anymore sims before we do this, so that the 777 can join in with the 757/767 and Airbus with outrageously long training letters!
