Even if we did, that's great because the 787 pays more than the 767. He also said that in addition to the 150 firm orders (6 of which have been delivered) we would probably take all 100 options we currently have.
At Boeings current delivery rate, by the time the 100th one shows up the first 70 will be due for retirement.
