Any good rumors on United actually taking delivery of the 350's? The latest rumor was the 350 sim was sold (not encouraging for us that want to eventually fly an Airbus longhaul).

SK was in Denver ops about 6 months ago. Was asked about 350s. He said he’s a huge fan of Airbus but to expect 350s to be kicked down the road once more and then lumped into a huge all or none 100 plane competition with Boeing to replace aging 777-200 fleet. He said a competition like that would get us the best price in the long run.
