I can't recall the mix of premium select and comfort + or economy. Those numbers were moving around. It will have more premium seating capacity than the -900. We have options for 20 more and I'm fairly confident we are going to exercise some if not all of those options. So potentially we'll have 40 of the 350-1000s out there. You guys should be happy about that. Airbus got it right on the -1000 (for once).
The 35K arguably should have been ordered from the get go, even the ~696k MTOW version was a good performing plane, but these newer NPS ones at ~709k are different beasts. And I imagine the Thompson Seats are a lighter than the current suites now.
