Only Kirby knows, but I would guess less likely.
Since we would be lucky to have our first A350-1000 out flying operationally by the summer of 2018, I think this is a sign that we have decided to go in a different direction.
I think we will have several more 777-300 orders announced as part of next week's Board meeting/Earnings call. The production slot availability on the 777s would allow us to get as many as we want/need before the summer of 2018 when you would need to be back up to "full strength" on the widebody fleet.
