Pretty much covers all the widebodies doesn't it? My wager is that IF.. it is the 350s, we won't see any until at least 2018. Hell I'll make that wager if it is ANY of the above.... Purpledrink is gonna have a great career.. you and I.. not so much.
Edit: Just read the release. Notice that it is an RFP to replace the 747s.... a "bigger" airplane. Neither the 330 or 787 pay as much. Just sayin' I guess the half full perspective would be that most pay more than a 767, so we'll have that going for us. Basically a wash.
