Add in the KC-46. Yeah, I know it isn't technically a commercial aircraft, but the purely civilian 767 airframe components have had their share of stupid problems themselves leading the USAF to stop acceptance twice for such mundane things as FOD left in closed spaces and fuel tanks.

All the above points to the pain of getting planes from Airbus as a cost of doing business, pretty much for the whole industry not just United.
Short training courses between the 320/330/350 will be a nice but small cost savings.
Will the FAA/UPA allow the 330/350 to be run as a common fleet? Seems like Delta would be doing that.

As for the FAA, it's going to do what it's going to do.
And at this point, I think the FAA is going to be looking at ANYTHING Boeing with as much or more scrutiny as anything Airbus since they have been identified as having a broken organization in terms of quality control which has been ongoing for some time, leaving how many loose/missing bolts and other discrepancies in aircraft already flying and yet to be found?

And since these issues occurred at Boeing on the FAA's watch, while they gave them considerable license to do their own quality assurance, that is now going to make it much more difficult for Boeing to get anything new certified. The FAA is going to cut them no slack whatsoever.

Looks like the A/I fix could take up to 18 months, delaying virtually any progress on the MAX 10 certification for at least a year.
