I also think you would see hub's close before you see and entire international fleet dumped.
I agree it might be a stretch to drop 330s...but Air France and KLM might be happy to pick up a few more...and the common 767/757 type rating equates to minimal (if any) training requirements for NWA 757 guys. might be worth it to keep 76s until the 78s show up in a few years.
then again, we'll need the int'l revenue provided by the 330s... should be interesting. some fleet consolidation is imminent, though...
