Take a close look at how many 32Ns are already going into northeastern USA airports already, and AAL/UAL haven't begun to utilize them yet.

I'll bet we have an XLR (or 322 if it happens) order by EOY 2027 (unless the 797 materializes before then) if the AAL/UAL experiment is successful. We'll know by this time next year. Plus we can use them to replace the 757s to Hawaii during the winter from LAX/SEA come 2032 (or whenever they retire the 757) in a non-D1 configuration.
