Let more guessing games begin. My guess is, official release of the A35K layout, and a MAX 8 order to take care of the 320/738 in the future.
I’d guess they’re exercising the additional A35K options. Hope springs eternal.

Could be possible, frees up a few more 359’s, could possibly lead to more 350’s in SLC then the 339’s can head east as the 767 winds down.

What is the seating on the 350-1k? Same as the 900? Our 350 cabin is wearing down alot faster than comparing to a similar aged 330-900. I think partly because the 350 never has any downtime. It is always in the air. At least the 330 goes thru more atl and has a chance for mx to catchup. The mco on 350 is getting pretty bad.

supposedly getting new seats, and 50% of the plane is going to be premium, I would think close to 60 D1 seats, definitely not less than 50.

that will be a nice bump up from 40 on the 359, probably 40-48 in PS then, and 200 something Y and Y+, so around 320 total I’d assume

The last thing I saw (and note we haven't rolled the true seat plan out yet) was 54 D1 suites. These will be the new Thompson seats. Much better than what we have now in the -900.

I can't recall the mix of premium select and comfort + or economy. Those numbers were moving around. It will have more premium seating capacity than the -900. We have options for 20 more and I'm fairly confident we are going to exercise some if not all of those options. So potentially we'll have 40 of the 350-1000s out there. You guys should be happy about that. Airbus got it right on the -1000 (for once).

Where do you guys think the 1000 will go? Long thin route or more dense market? I assume it will has better range? Not that the 900 can’t do 16 hr flight without much issue
