787-8 On LAX-EWR PS Flights

I flew back from EWR to LAX on the 30th of December on a 787-8. Originally, when I booked the flight, it was a 757 but a couple of months out, it was changed to a 787-8. When I used the app to see where my aircraft was coming from, it looked like it was only running between LAX and EWR. I know that UA is running 787-10 on the route while they familiarize but the 787-8 has been in the fleet for a while now.

Is the 787-8 just a temporary thing between LAX-EWR or are the 787-8 eventually going to be relegated to domestic operations? I'm wondering if the 787-8's will become like the 777-200A in the fleet as more and more 787-9 and 787-10's arrive.
