At a minimum, a few tails wouldn’t be bad as spare parts birds to keep the current fleet flying longer.

The 767 is doing quite fine. Still in production after 40 years!

You can get an amen.

As there is no replacement since DL has historically ignored the 787, I think they will be here for another 10 years.

I don't know about that, no orders this year, and it's all just a few cargo/military on the future delivery schedule.
