140 EDTO is workable for Asia and the South Pacific, assuming most Enroute alternates are available.
The 777 can pickup the North/South American flights, including HNL, but will require a lot of juggling without sourcing a lease(s).
10 out of 11 787's have the old engines, so majority of the fleet. The big question will be, how many pass the inspection? I've heard the (worldwide) failure rate of these new inspections is rather high... 30% or so.
