Default Future of A-350

I don't usually take rumors to seriously buy I keep hearing over and over that the A-350 is a big disappointment and won't be on the property long..
I'm not the sender, just curious as to any info others might have.

After you hear that, ask them what should we replace them with?

They’ll likely tell you 787. Which answers why they said it in the first place.

Idk about the company side of things but those I know on the 350 love it.

I can’t see us getting rid of them anytime soon. I think worst case is we won’t get any more and instead get more 330 NEOs.

Just look at the orders vs the 787 that says everything.

Riding on AA's 78 is misery if you're stuck in a window seat. Brilliant idea not installing window shades.

I've heard similar things from people with connections. I guess time will tell.

The 350 is a larger aircraft with a different mission than the 787. I think people think that they are the same. Everyone I talk to thinks the 350 is a great aircraft. We may not get more than 15 but we paid cash for them why would we just get rid of them.

Isn’t there a button below the window that you push to activate the “shade” function?

I'm not on it. Does the 350 do something significantly different than a 330-900?

Idk. My understanding is the 350 lives to cruise around at m.85.

If there are shortcomings I would suspect it's in what options we left out.
