The backlog for 787s is getting longer, and I think it would be the perfect fit to revamp and restructure the fleet off the ER.
I think the company saying we want all WB Airbus fleet is just a tactic to get Boeing to the table to give us a good deal. The 797 is not feasible to wait forever on, and the 330 has not been a great replacement for the ER flying.
