Maybe they should have ordered 350-1000s.
Supposedly a 330 neo = 773 casm. If so, wow.

The person that spoke about the order being cancelled was speaking out of place... and that was last year.
I've also heard that the numbers on the 350 are at promised, just the production is slower than planned... hence us taking it in July. There is pushback from some of the powers that be due to it being designed to be completely paperless from the get go, plus a few other IT issues... we are talking about jumping into the technology of tomorrow with our current technology. So you know how that goes. New technology, paperless, not a Boeing... that's going to freak some people out, and thus the wishful thinking of "we're gonna cancel it!"

Welcome to Sea-Tac! Virgin Atlantic begins new nonstop service to London. The daily Boeing 787-9 flight replaces 767 service by Delta, a Joint Venture partner of Virgin Atlantic. London is our largest international market with multiple daily nonstop flights. This new flight option adds 50 more seats to London Heathrow.
