Airbus offers competitive financing almost to the dime. Both manufacturers have access to subsidized financing. The A350 has sold much better than the 777X. The 787 is a new generation design in almost every aspect. The A330-900 is a A330 with 787 engines. The same engines that are problems for the 787 program. Note the blocks of lead hanging on our A330-900 coming out of paint. Normally the engines are hung before painting. They don’t have the engines yet.

NEO - no engine option. They are the most fuel efficient to date.

I think its just paint on 330neo, just gives the illusion of 350 windows

SEA 330 pilots are going to be happy!

WooHoo! Unless the company adds pilots or removes some current flying, SEA will need some more 330 pilots......whenever we actually do get them and they enter service. I hear the first route will be SEA-PVG. Taking the route over from the 767ER. Possibly ICN or PEK next.

In HND there were at least 4 engineless 787’s on the ramp a few months ago. Earlier this month they were not there anymore.

Possibly. I’ve heard a lot of the Asia flying (out of Seattle) will be coming back with NEO. Sailingfun seems to confirm that.

Sadly confirm that! I was hoping to see the NEO on JFK-TLV. The aircraft are coming in a 4 class configuration and will have about 10 fewer seats than the current 330’s. This I suspect means they will be route specific so not likely to see any away from SEA until the next round of deliveries.
