I just find amazing that after 30+ years, the Boeing 767 is still the most comfortable way to cross the Atlantic. I wish there would be some kind of next-gen project for the 767.

I agree completely.  767 has the most passenger friendly seating arrangement: 2-3-2.

I truly love the 767, I have had the pleasure of flying on it a few times with LOT Polish, Delta and even got a chance to fly on a 767-200 on Continental from EWR-TXL. All great flights, it's just not the same on any other airliner. Going to be sad when it's gone which I hope is a very long time from now.

I was on one earlier this year, YYZ - SXM.
