I'm not the sender, just curious as to any info others might have.

Marketing only goes so far. If our high end clientele aren't impressed, no amount of glossy brochures will help. The only VIPs I know very well are lukewarm on the 350 (sample size of 2). If we swung and missed on it, now's the right time for a correction vector.
Maybe we can roll our jets into a deal/sale on Trainer...and convert our remaining 350s to 330-900s?

The 350 is called XWB because it's cabin is wider than the 330 and the 787 (but not the 777. 9 inche difference). The 330 has the same fuselage as the A300.
