Honestly, the 787 launch was an absolute disaster, Delta dodged a massive bullet not being part of that, but people tend to forget all the serious teething problems it had (and still has depending on which engine was ordered).

If we get A350-1000s, I could see LAX 777 closing pretty easily. If not I think it'll be more likely to stay around. The 1000 is the replacement for the 777LR which is needed for routes like Sydney.
The 1000 has less range than the 900. I would expect they would get the long range version of the 900 for that route.
