If they are to survive - Its my guess that they will dump the 744's and A330's and just become a small but efficient 789 and 340-1000 operator and 500 + Pilots will be put to rest.
I guess they hung extra engines from the wing as a tribute to their old mantra.
The A330's are quite efficient for shorter routes (UK - US east coast) and have a common type rating with the A350, so there would not be a very good reason from that side for getting rid of them.
