Not a word from the company on any of that. Just talk from pilots on forums.

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!

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

But what’s the source?
