We often talk of the 777 as a homogeneous fleet of aircraft when comparing it to the 350. That is an inaccurate analysis. The A350-900 compares favorably with the 777-200ER, but is not even in the same league as the 777-200LR. The disappointment with the 350 is mostly among the pilots who thought the 350 could fly to SYD. It just doesn't have the lift or the legs to compete on a 15 hour flight. SYD, JNB and BOM are where we need the 777, but just the 10 LRs. Our 777ER flying could be done with the A350, in fact several city pairs move between the 350, 777ER and soon the 330-900.
