There are a lot of 777 rumors. Lets see.

777-300's to replace the 744's
More 777-200
Fact is that we have plenty of N numbers reserved for them. A year and a half ago we were looking at the possibility of 45-52 in the next few years. With the 787 delayed the used market is not what we thought it would be. It will take a few more years for the announced numbers of 25-30 to be realized.
Now if we can hold the line, and recapture some 76 seat flying we have a chance at some real growth. If we fail to do this, we will see a lot of retirements with little change in relative seniority.
