Pretty much everything in Eastern Europe would require 76x or 777 for the range. The 757 just can't make it. The only way to do that would be to pull a/c off of routes like BRU, and that just got the 777 upgrade, so it is losing its 767, but not for a 757.
The topic of this thread is "where will CO be applying the new 787". So the 757 issue and needing 767 is not applicable to this discussion. The 787 will go wherever CO wants to go.
