Rumour of new 757 ETOPS routes to US for 2007

Just pinching threads from airliners.net and it is all rumour
but interesting considering CO have the lead regionally in the UK,
Delta are following Europe wide (not the 757 though) and now: -

Northwest to convert 10 757's for DTW - Europe services

Rumoured are DTW-BHX, DTW-MAN, DTW-DUB & possibly GLA

US Air are to convert 3 more 757's to ETOPS and PHL-BHX is
rumoured again for 2007 (third year running).

Any 757 drivers out there got any comments on BHX-DTW
with strong headwinds etc. Would there be any weight
restrictions or is it no worse the TXL-EWR (mind you that
has been known to tech stop).
