Post COVID supply chain and QC issues seem to have tilted the scale a little towards resiliency of multiple fleet types instead of efficiency of minimal types.
I too would be overjoyed to see some 330s and 350s in our fleet mix. 787-8 as a 767 replacement would suit me too but everything I've heard is that it's overkill as a direct replacement.

The 787 seems to have some ongoing issues and it's reasonable to fear slow response from the FAA if anything does happen
The 321 is sold out for years and years. Airbus is not dumb. If they move heaven and earth to get United some extra lift quick, they aren't going to miss the chance to lock in the 350 as a the 777 replacement and sell a bunch of extra 330's too.
But 330/350 is definitely two type ratings versus 757/767 being one. I'd be really curious to see how the fleet gets distributed - 330 on the east coast, 787 on the west coast?

”The A330 Common Type Rating allows pilots to transition from A330 to A350 aircraft in only eight days without full flight simulator sessions. This enables carriers to use a single-fleet flying concept with a pool of pilots qualified for both aircraft, providing increased scheduling flexibility and mobility.”

Per Airbus it is only 8 days and no simulator required to go from the 330 to 350.

From: It keeps changing.
This sounds accurate, I did the transition from the 320 to the 330 in 6 days. It's essentially the same up front in both aircraft, just a handful of differences. It was fairly easy to do the transition.
