Plus you have to remember, when could someone get onto the 787 line at this point. Most positions are taken for the next 5 years or so. So move out five years and the 350 will be ready to launch with the requirements EK needed. Plus do you think maybe Airbus gave EK a little sweetner on the price to get the aircraft moving? Right now it looks like EK has AB in its pocket and can dictate all sorts of conditions, that is with the massive 380 order and now 350 order.
And if you read the blurbs, EK is still trying to get Boeing to move on a longer range 747-8 pax version.
