It would seem, the 787-8 is pretty close to being a 76 replacement.
we will never see a “direct” replacement. But let’s be honest, there really is no way we are able to fly the 75/76 past this decade.
More issues will come up….
So, since it seems that the A321xlr/neo WILL be a 75 replacement expect a 78(ish) to be a 76 replacement.

This is why it is so important to have a UPA that takes this into consideration.
Will they try to fly a 78 from EWR to LHR with a crew of two?! Since it’s faster….
We need to look down range, not just what is 2ft in front of us~

just my opinion.
