Per A.net, looks like CO has 20 Options on the 787-8 as well. If CO exercised all its options, it could effectively double its widebody fleet (or increase its long-haul fleet by a third if you count 757-200s). CO could even retire the 762s (which it has given hints it would like to do), and still maintain massive international growth.
