Nah. Doesn't matter. The 787 is what the carriers want and need: a hyper efficient medium capacity revenue machine that maximizes existing infrastructure and minimizes operating costs.
It's a home run, no matter what the froggies do with their whale.
They could always name it after DeGaul and turn it into an ex-colony.

Exactly.
Airlines love their 767s (and so do passengers) and the stretch 737s.
Who would have ever thought that the 757 would be out of production but the 1960s 737 would be going strong?
