I wasn't aware that we had an A 350 program at UAL.
I think's it's a "ghost program." Reminds me of how well the USAF hid the F-117 leading up to Desert Storm. Sure, we've got a program manager, but this guy has the best job in town.

If you look at that seat/range chart that was posted earlier it kind of makes the case for the 350 on paper. The 777-2 are getting old and the 777X is too big, the 350-1000 is too big and too little range, and 78-10 is too little range 78-9 is too small. The closest airplane to the range and seat count to the old 777-200 is the 350-9. The costs of an added fleet might lead them to persue the 777-x which would be great for us. You need a lot more mainline passengers to fill a 360 seat airplane vs a 285.

Cathay just started HKG-IAD with the 350-1000 (334 seats)

Have heard after EWR gets their 78s, ORD is next. No definite timeline mentioned.

This is the chart from a United powerpoint third quarter of 2017. The 1000 has less range than the 900 but too many seats. See how closely the 777-2 and 350-9 are on the chart. If they were looking for a square peg for a square hole. Thats all I was pointing out. It is all semantics really they are all cool airplanes.

As the then CEO said....
Many large companies are actually moving their offices out of the suburbs and back into Chicago because new college graduates want to live in diverse, progressive, urban, culturally rich places. I know Denver and Dallas both have their share of these qualities, but nowhere near the scale it exists in Chicago.
When you combine all of that with tax incentives, central location, and a worldwide aviation hub like ORD it is not surprising at all that Chicago would be a desirable place for a corporate HQ.
