Keep the Airbus options open for later, the A350-1000 is the most direct (and most modern) 777-300ER replacement.


764 replaced by 788:

772 replaced by 78X:

Also, keep in mind the 787-10 and 777-300ER are not even close:

That’s a pretty good summation of how it’s both good for us and the company. I agree two fleet types are better than three and the pay scale is much better for
us. I also agree that a few of the older 777A/B models will be replaced by the 787-10s much sooner than later. Maybe even the 777C? They aren’t as tired as the 767s but they are getting old.
The next mystery will be whether we replace the remaining bigger 777s with larger 787s of the A350 or nothing. Many factors will go into this including possible carbon emission schemes…fuel costs…and engine manufacturers.
