UPS had PW's first then switched to Rolls.
Every Airline you mention above is a Rolls Royce customer!
All variants of the B787 will enter service with RR engines (RR is the only engine certified to date for the B787)
The A380 entered service with RR engines. RR has greatest market share on the A380. The A350 will enter service with RR engines.
Like I said, PW can't compete with GE and RR!
I said "nice try" cause you mentioned that 80% of 757's were powered by RR engines.
I was making the point that 4 of the 5 largest operators of the 757 use PW engines.
I agree that more 75's are powered by RR than PW, but I don't think it's close to the 80% that you mentioned.
I think UA's 777 are GE powered and unless NW has RR's on their A330's, I don't think they are a Rolls Royce customer either
