Interesting,
I've been hearing the rumors of 7E7 for a while now.
There is also a widespread rumour going around of 777's....
As always will believe it when I'm sitting in it at the ramp....But it's nice to have good rumours for a change!

777? Because AC needs to have four long haul types... :hmm:
The 787 does fit the 762/763 replacement need because the 321 doesn't go far enough, the 332 goes too far and Airbus seem to love the 310 too much to replace it! :confused:

I'm kind of interested to see who will lend them the money to buy the planes, after investors (not to mention employees) just lost billions of dollars in AC's recent bankruptcy. But I imagine since AC managed to swallow CP and survive the after effects, someone will take the risk...
As the old joke goes:

A: Start with a large fortune!
