So, the 787-10, not really a replacement for the A's. Unless you put in cattle car seating like the A's. 10 across in back. Sardine anyone?
If indeed the -10 will have 318 seats, that is a cattle car since the 787-9 has 252 seats. Either way that is a huge increase in seats for international for whatever it's designed to replace.
