I'm hearing that, going forward, the company has decided to lean heavier into A350s rather than more 330-900s. It sounds like the 350 is what they'll need for range/lift. Just had a senior WB LLCP tell me we're going to order approximately 40+ more soon. Mainly -1000s. They'll be going to west coast bases to open up more Pacific routes (Manila, Singapore, Hong Kong, Vietnam, possibly Bangkok and eventually India - although I'd imagine that'll be out of NYC). Also expecting to add more southern Europe and more deep S America but those will likely be east coast 330s, as they arrive. (The Pacific & other network info was from the Network guy at a Velvet.) As always, I'll believe it when I see it but the "plan" came from a guy who was very confident in it.
