I think when I mean point to point long haul, I’m talking in terms of development at non-hubs such as [say, in the UK] Manchester or Glasgow, rather than development at Heathrow. Whilst the 787 and A350 will to some extent replace 767s, I do see them increasing the viability of regional long-haul to an extent (witness what EK has already done with the A330, which would never have happened when the only long-haul choices were 747s, DC-10s and L10s).

I agree about such growth, at least in the UK or EU. My particular statement was aimed more at the quote by bring_it_on.
