Latam's A350s
I know we are scheduled to get 4 used A350s from Latam 2 late this year and 2 early next year we also got rights to their 10 A350 orders of which 8 I believe are 350-1000s. Question is will we take the 1000s or convert them to the 900?

With Delta’s aversion to anything over 300 seats, it’s probably a safe bet that it will be the -900.
The -1000 does have more range, which could make it a suitable 777 replacement for SYD and JNB. It’s massive though, so I’d be surprised if we went that route.
