I’m in for this, RB211 start ups are the best.

IF we do order the 787, and IMO that’s a big if,I think a split 9/10 would make sense. Also I wonder if we decide to go 787, do we convert any remaining 330 orders to 350s

And just like that, Delta finds a source for gently used 330s and 321Ns cheap. Alaska has already shown that they have no use for airbus.

Just about every plane since the OG 320 James. It's been posted here about the lie of the 330 range. The XLR is not going to deliver on its "advertised range" since the EASA is demanding better fire stuff for the center/aft fuel tanks. taht adds weight and weight kills range and payload. They did the same with the 350. How those tech stops from JBerg doing? Come on man, You know better.

I was in the room when the conglomerate was waxing poetic on the capability of their aircraft and raising the BS flag along the way. They asked for my professional opinion on the matter I gave it and they flushed it. Fine, I don't run the airline. They do. But I was right about the 350 capes all along. Same with the 330-900.
