The OS B763 and B772 are definitely going away. The question is how large OS' longhaul operation will be going forward. And whether that operation needs A330, A359 and/or B789. An A359 is rather big and tough to fill, but the type rating for the crew is common with the A330. SN is set to remain an A330 outfit, they just got completely reset with new (used) aircraft that are all getting a new cabin retrofitted. (Also Vantage similar to LX B773/A343).
