While you correctly identify sources of new longhaul capacity, not clear how much that will be offset by retiring old aircraft -- the 777-200 fleet is struggling and the 767 fleet's reliability isn't amazing either, so some of the new aircraft are likely to just allow for retirements. And of course, if fuel prices remain high, there will be an even stronger incentive to accelerate some of those retirement plans.
