The 7ER was mentioned. The 767 will be retired by 2030, and the 757 will stay until a replacement is available. We will start seeing more 767s and 330s moving east and 350s moving west.
They seem to be very happy with the Airbus product and how easy it is to transition to dif aircraft. They have a project going on right now with a short course from 320 to 350 and backward if you want. They seem pleased with the results. The Boeing product does not offer that flexibility. The question was asked about a Boeing WB order, and now they are not exploring any Boeing WB products.
