Additional 330/350 seem far more likely to me.
The recent fleet reductions had everything to do with accelerating the inevitable and moving to more efficient planes that were inevitable anyway.
IMO only a tiny portion of it was done to reduce the fleet type number. They will add a fleet type in a second if its a good plane at a great price. There's other variables at play that may mean we never see the 787 (or any new plane type) for a long time. However adding a fleet means almost nothing in the aggregate.
