They like the idea of the 1000; it is supposed to be a CASM monster. The 359 High, Hot, and Heavy have been a big issue. The 339 has its own issues, but overall, most of what it serves, they like, and it is a NPS monster along with the 350s that are not in the LATAM configuration. The first LATAM-configured Airbus A350-900 is currently in Singapore for a "Cabin Refresh." This aircraft, along with all the new ones coming, will focus on a premium cabin configuration. Interestingly, this refresh will reduce the number of seats from 306 to 275, while the BOW will increase by 7,000 pounds, as the D1 seats are quite heavy. The incoming Boeing 787s are expected to feature D1 seats extending all the way back to the wing. Additionally, the Airbus A321neos currently at Amsterdam (AMS) is awaiting approval. So far, there have been five unsuccessful attempts, but they are optimistic that the sixth will be successful. These aircraft will be configured with 45 D1 seats, followed by C+ seats, and then the main cabin, primarily intended for transcontinental flights.
