I think you're wrong about this. Even though only DAL and CAL ordered the model, a search of Boeing's website still shows the -400 line to be open. The only 767 not being produced is the straight -200. Even the -200ER is still available. You are correct in that they are still building the -300ER as its still an attractive airplane to many companies around the world. Combined with winglets will make this even a more attractive airplane.
I would be a little surprised to see more -400s on the property. If we opted for that capacity I'm not sure they wouldn't go ahead and order more 777s or even a few more 330s.
