So long to the A350 order if this is going to actually happen.
I don't know. Our oldest 777s will be 25+ years old in 2022. And we did convert the A350 order to 900s.... and actually increased the number. Seems like a good replacement aircraft for the 777s. We'll see.

I agree with the 777 replacement being a concern. But I have a feeling Boeing is going to be doing some serious sweet heart deals for us after the MAX issues. I wouldn’t be shocked if we get 787-9/10’s at a very very attractive price. And If that’s the case, United just needed to tie up their obligations to Airbus/Rolls Royce for the 350. So maybe a nice 50 frame A321XLR order satisfied all parties? Who knows but it’s very welcome news for me!
