And what Slice speaks of is much more likely at flaps 3 than flaps full, simply due to the lower drag and resultant N1 nearer to 42% than 55-60% at flaps full. The bus is much more speed stable in gusty conditions with flaps full than with flaps 3.

Seriously, I’ve never had any issue with the AB FADEC on either engine. Spool up time is plenty quick, even from “idle”.

Rumor is we have agreed to order more 787-9’s. Those along with the 20(?) -8’s we already have will replace the 767/330 fleets in the coming years. We have 58 787 options left, I would expect a majority of those will be firmed up as orders to replace the 55(?) airplanes currently making up 767/330 fleet. I would guess the -10 will be looked at to replace older 772’s as well based on how well they perform. 100 787’s would be nice and provide a lot of fleet reliability as far as basing/crewing options across the system.
Boeing must have cut a heck of a deal to get us out of the A350 commitment!

I get the impression if Parker was doing the orders for both carriers we'd be a 319/320/321 and 787-8/9/10 carrier.

Momentary Thread Drift: Going forward, would taking a type ride in B777, or B787 come with a common type rating ? If so, I don't see any indication of interest for mixed fleet operations like some airlines do with B757/B767 fleet. Thanks, returning to original thread subject reading.
