which equals a lot more range for the 777LR
The LR really is a pretty unique bird and the addition of Mumbai flying has made it even more indispensable. I know they tried to put the A350 on Sydney but ended up not doing it. Like others have said, our ERs could easily be replaced by A350s but that would leave a fleet of only 10 aircraft. Has Delta ever had an orphan fleet that small?
