Finally looks in proportion. Wonder if BA will have another 20% stock bump today.

Besides a bump in # of pax, is there any increase in range?

Nope, the 9 is the real performer. Consider this like the 767-400.

The A350 is still nicer looking

I think they're both awesome jets, but not a real fan of the 350's face.

Taylor Swift would say: "I hate your slanted face."

Any significant differences between these Noses ?

Yeah. One nose is more blunt, one has 4 windows, the other has six, one has a window mask. The A350 sits 3 feet higher. The entire wing design is completely different. The vertical stabilizer shape is different. One is longer, one is shorter, one is wider and so on. They are completely different looking airplanes IMO.

Close. I read an article about the differences Ill have to dig it up. How they designed the wing on the A350 is pretty incredible.

I want technologically unadvanced aircraft. Job security.

Extra long airplanes look weird. The best looking one is the -8. Just like the A319 looks better than the 321, the 737-700 is the best looking one, and the 757-300 looks awkward as all hell.

AIrbus wins again.

Pay, QoL, comfort = winner

Everything else = not relevant
