What are the city pairs AC is thinking of that will require so many LR aircraft? There are the "obvious" (although they could all be served by a less costly ER rather than LR):
YYZ-DEL
YYZ-HKG
YYZ-LAX-SYD

Does this mean we're going to start seeing nonstops to places like SIN, BKK, JNB, AKL, DXB, BOM

Or based on the 340-500 experience does AC just want to keep lots of spares in case they go mechanical?
