the previous order was stated for growth. This order is the exact size of the 756 fleet. The 787 will replace the 767-300/400 1:1 and the 321 will replace the 757-200/300 1:1.
there are 114 planes in the 756 fleet. 61 are 757s. This order is as close as it gets to an exact replacement. I imagine the press release will be written exactly this way.
