Wouldn't putting 50 or 60 biz business class seats in the 777-200 make more sense and leaving the current configuration of 787 as is?


200 is super old they don’t think it’s worth investing in those.

I think having the 787P makes it easier to operate to AKL and BNE, better range.

But they are spending millions to update the avionics.

Hopefully they do think it’s worth ordering a replacement soon. Assuming AA is planning to park nearly 50 772s in 10 years they should probably be placing a new order with Boeing sooner than later.

I hear the announcement will be sometime Q1 during all the PR hype for the 100 year anniversary. They still haven’t decided on the airframe.

That wouldn't surprise me; it would be par for the course to tell Airbus we don't want A350s at 2005 version 1 pricing, financed during bankruptcy with the Airbus creditor discount. We want to pay full price for the A350 version 2 at 2025 prices.
