So yours was a loaded statement, I don't recell Boeing marketing that the type was only for long-haul operations by major carriers, according to Wiki there have been some 1,176 B767's manufactured over the past 39 years and if, as some suggest, more than 700 of these remain in service then I'd say that is a very successful type.
I'd hate to be an airline CEO in this day and age "Oops, we no matter how profitable the route we can't utilise our B767's on short/medium haul in case in years to come some spotter comes along ..."
