Twin aisle narrow body would be sweet but that's a lot of space that no one is really paying for.
2.2.2 seating would be neat in the Y cabin but the airplane would have to be wide enough to accommodate the extra aisle and that means weight increases without the corollary increase in revenue to offset. I suspect we will see what looks like a 757 cabin, with the 787 cockpit and tech advances.
