Awesome aircraft with the most comfortable ride as a pax
Rumor is they're making a new one with less thrust, a much smaller elevator and double the deck angle in cruise. The numbers are pretty bad but the plan is to have a required crew tracker in the former FE station at all times for gotcha junior assignments thus forcing the entire pilot group down to 12 moveable days off a month which will more than make up for it.

Would if you had a widebody fleet with only two aircraft types? 787-900/1000 replacing the 767er, 767-400,777 and A350. A330’s also replacing 7er’s and growth. Imagine the cost savings in DH pay alone!
Maybe we are in for a surprise soon!

No no. More aircraft types means we have the perfect aircraft for the specific city pair, time, and day. We wouldn’t want to mess with that special sauce.

He probably said something like “we continuously evaluate all options, including the 787.”

But what’s the source?
