It'll be a long time before TT get Yankee Foxtrot anything. There are still Victor series airframes to hand down (including BZG). Yankee Indias even less likely as they're optimised for longer international flights, and are a little heavier.

But there are plans to expand TT into short haul international, so the YI frames will assist this.
Looks like the experts thing VA are on the right track.
