The only way this makes any sense to me is if Boeing re-engines the 767. The 767-400ER with a smaller-fan, derated GEnx engine (similar to the 748) with other incremental improvements could be a winner. It wouldn't be available any time soon, though. Even a re-engined 763ER would be competitive.

Two completely different markets; I don't think one has anything to do with the other.
