Interesting how the 2 hubs with no A350 flights are the ones delta allegedly wants the 787s at (this should change pending on the ICN rumor). If delta orders a mix of 787-10 and 787-9 and jfk-icn starts before 787 deliveries could see dtw or atl crews running jfk-icn on a350s (dtw-icn is an early evening arrival while icn-dtw is a mid morning departure so an evening departure for icn-jfk and a midnight departure for jfk-icn would fit a dtw-icn-jfk-icn-dtw routing) then put 787-9s or IGW 787-10s (read somewhere IGW 787-10s will have range similar to 777-9s as Boeing updated on website don’t remember exactly) on it in the long run.
