777-9 is too much airplane the c-suite says though I’d love to see it. Thinking 25 firm 787 orders, options for 75 more. My prediction is that we won’t see the 350 at United though I’d love to see that too.

Heard the following several years ago when we really thought the A350 was a possibility. Wrote the follow g to my reps today to verify. Anyone know if below is true?
Years ago I was told that our Crew Rest Oversight Committee (CROC) stated the A350 crew rest facility is not in compliance with FAR 117 and most importantly our contract. This supposedly is a structural issue that can’t be rectified. It’s also my understanding that DAL (the only current US operator of the A350) and the DAL MEC jointly requested a waiver from the FAA to operate the A350 with a non 117 compliant crew rest facility.
If all above is true and the company buys A350’s you have additional leverage.
