There is also an expense to buying a plane that doesn’t fit the mission as effectively as an A-350 would. Those inefficiencies over 25 years would certainly add up and possible be more expensive than just having a separate fleet type, which is why we don't just fly one airplane.
Delta has 10 fleet types and they seem to be doing ok.

We shall see
I just post my opinion and I can see 777X instead of the 350

Speaking of parking jets, I was looking at a picture of all the AA jets parked in Tulsa. Here we are going into wind / hail / tornado season and they have all these jets (many 777/787) lined up neatly for weeks in one spot smack in the middle of tornado alley. I’d be a tad nervous about that given the way all of our luck has been going lately.
