Kirby has said before that when it comes to the A350 that we’re either going to get 100 of them, or none at all. Unless this WB order is just a 767 replacement order, I’d suspect that the crew rest in the A350 isn’t going to be an issue. When asked about the contract with RR about the engines he mentioned that it would just be a simple write off. Boeing is trying to rebuild their reputation and order book. The deal that I suspect United could get from Boeing coupled with the savings from eliminating 2 fleet types over time would be hard for Airbus to match. My money says that the 767 and 777 fleets are going to be replaced by the 787.
