United Increases 350 Order?
An article today mentioned United increased its 350 order by 2 aircraft. That is after converting the 1000's to 900's and increasing from 35 to 45. So now it seems United has 47 (an odd number for a fleet size). It's odd we would have increased our commitment when everyone says the program is scrapped at TK. Any good rumors on United actually taking delivery of the 350's? The latest rumor was the 350 sim was sold (not encouraging for us that want to eventually fly an Airbus longhaul).

There are only 4 things that I don't like on the 777 -
1. Yoke
2. Noisy cockpit
3. Marginal seat
4. Marginal bunk
I'm pretty sure that Airbus has taken care of all 4 on the 350. Bummed that I'll never fly it.
