Either that or the arrival of the 787 mid year will start to replace the 767 frames.
Midlife, Boeing sponsored, refit of the 767 will delay the rundown of the 767 fleet until at least 2017 IMHO. Add to that they BA has Roller power 767's there is considerable difficulty in offloading them to the third market.

IF slots are available I thinkl we will see the retention of the 767 for medium haul routes with flat beds and the exploritory routes (long/thin) will go to the 787.

There are more 777-300 orders in the pipeline I'm lead to believe.

DEP? Possibly, Balpa believe the A320 surplus will be gone within 6 months.

Again, all IMHO.
