That is exactly what I hope will happen. 757s formerly flying Europe and now to Hawaii frees the stretch 737s from Hawaii for Transcon.
That frees shorty 737s for select markets that currently have lots of RJs but no mainline. As the RJ fleet shrinks, baby 737s and 319s get some of that.
Not growth per se in block hours---just flown other places.
Again, this is what I hope will happen.

We are making aircraft upgauges on some routes between EWR and locations in Europe beginning this fall to help reduce fuel stops and to meet customer demand and cargo opportunities in these markets.
We were already replacing Boeing 757s with Boeing 767s on flights from EWR to BCN (Barcelona, Spain) and TXL (Berlin) this summer and now they will continue as 767s year-round. We will make the same upgauges from EWR to HAM (Hamburg, Germany) and MAD (Madrid, Spain) effective Oct. 25.
The upgauge to 767s will reduce fall and winter fuel stops on westbound flights due to high winds and improve our reliability on these routes. Our continued investment in international aircraft, including our 17 in-service Boeing 787s, enables us to move the 767s onto these routes and, in turn, use the 757s previously used on these routes for domestic flights.
We are still determining specific routes for the 757s we’re replacing as part of a number of changes in our flying, including a significant reduction in 50-seater aircraft.
