A350 and the Future
 

The order has changed a few times and now is pushed back yet again. With engines on the way, will the A350 arrive at United?

Maybe, maybe not.

UAL will continue to fly large airplanes in the future but until they are parked at the gate there's no guarantee on the type.

(Helpful hint: anybody that can tell you with certainty UAL's aircraft delivery schedule in 2025 is lying.)

SK was in Denver ops last year. Said gonna kick the can down the road one more time and then do a competition b/w Boeing 777x and A350 for a 100 plane order to replace 777-200s. Prefaced by saying he was a big Airbus fan, but wanted to get the best price so competition would produce that. 6 months later, A350 can kicked down the road...

We’re definitely getting the A350 in 2027. Yeah, definitely. Kmart sucks. 5 minutes to Warner.

Wopner.....not Warner.

what’s that smell, Raymond?

Darned autocorrect. I wrote Wapner and the stupid iPad changes it.

I’m going to bet this didn’t happen or was misheard because the 777x and the 350 are two different missions.

A359 = 772
778x = 773er
779x = 744

We are the only U.S legacy that can justify a 777-9 (or could, prior to Caronavirus) according to most industry analysts. Our Trans-Pacific operation, along with a handful of our Trans-Atlantic routes could probably use a 744 replacement. We shall see.

we have one it’s called a less than 2 year old 777-300ER.
