well, currently

the 787's on order are supposed to be like for like swaps for the oldest 767's

only 2 more 777-300 on order

the A380 orders are supposed to be a 1 for 1 replacement for the older 747-400's

doesnt exactly leave a lot of room for longhaul expansion with the current longhaul fleet orders
