According to Aviation Week, a conference call saw United CFO Gerry Laderman disclose that his airline had agreed with Airbus modify the delivery schedule of the A350s. In fact, Laderman stated the A350 deliveries are not scheduled to start until 2030, adding that the A350s were a “really great option” to replace its aging Boeing 777s.”
I would guess the 350 order is a placeholder to see if they can get a better deal from Boeing and to let the 777x program mature.

“ While the carrier's new commitments with Boeing made the headlines, its revised position on its A350 order garnered a little less attention. Nonetheless, the carrier did actually provide some insight on this Airbus widebody deal in recent months.

Coming on here trying to sell FUD gets old. Want us to let the company keep violating C2019? Does that help with your son at UnitedNext?
