Airbus also wants to try to slip some A350s in there too as a part of the deal, maybe taking away some of those newer A330s. No 321s unless they put more powerful engines on them. That's what he said, and he also stated he loved the bus, and planned to stay on it forever.

I'm in 320 initial and no one here has heard of any rumors of new airbuses. Could be true, but no one here seems to have heard of it, or is keeping quiet
