I think you misunderstood my last post. I was not refering to the A350 in general. I was refering to the A350-900 which was NOT designed to compete with the 787, it was designed to compete with the 777-200ER. As a result Boeing is looking into what WOULD be called the 787-10(though it is not yet official) as a reaction to the A350-900
And the A350 in general is more geared towards competing with the 777, it only competes with the 787-9 market.
