I was talking to the local mechanic for BA a while ago, and he said their plan is to phase them out in the next 2 or 3 years. Nobody is sure what will replace them though. I saw the article about the new BOAC paint scheme, and I'm hoping it makes it out my way before they retire it.
It's like the situation with American Airlines here. Rumors are that they're retiring the 757 that fly the Phoenix to Hawaii routes, but no one knows what will replace them. I;ve heard everything from 767's, A330's, or 787's. So far, only the A330 that pops in once in a while goes to Hawaii. Ameriican is also opening up a Phoenix to London service, but again nobody knows what will be used. Again, rumor is fluctuating between 767s, 777s or 787s. We do get a Condor 767 from Germany during the summer, so I think it has the range.
