-Hmm, I didn't realize Guy Norris was a journalist! I did enjoy his 777 books.
Anyhow, I hope to see it done, though it's mind-boggling the ramifications: if the 787-10 replaces the 772, then you'd assume a brand-new airplane (eg not the 787-11) would replace the 773, but just to replace the 773 with a whole new airplane seems silly -- so would you figure that Boeing would have the 787 family (-3, -8, -9, -10), and a replacement for the 773 AND the 744 both?

-I think it is not beneficial to stretch the MTOW to its maximum. Boeing is scoring at the moment by having a small aircraft, smaller than the A350. Maybe they should stick to this and by happy about the the great success they had this year. On the long run a 787-stretch maybe useful to offer it to airlines with large 787-fleets. But I gues nobody will buy Boeing just because of the B787-10.

This plane will compete directly with the 777-200/200ER.
But Boeing says at this point:
"Better commit suicide with B787-10, than get murdered by the A359." ;) :D
