There's a hot rumor that Airbus Industries is going to be "slapping a widget" on 'em.

A checkairman said it... so it must be true.

Oh god, I know better than that after two airlines and 18 total years of airline flying.

So much drama.

RA said within the last few months that delta is not interested in experimental planes, but a deep discount is a deep discount

Checkairman rumors. Company rumors. Etc.

Checkairman rumors. Company rumors. Etc.

Rumors about check airmen that powder their balls . . . rumors about check airmen that don't.

Nah, just sharing what the rumor is on the street.

If it means anything, I really have no idea.

Just trying to feed the "Content Kitty" today as if we all just sat around and replied, all we'd have are three posts with a millionty contrarian replies to it.

I'd look closer at any airlines getting ready to retire some 707s.

OTOH, this A350 business could be your path to a whole career as an F/O, D'erg!

Sounds like Emirates might be having cash flow problems. I can see Delta snatching a bunch of these up, especially since they love the A330 so much. I agree, this could be Dergs way out of the left seat.

I think that they want the 777X more is all. They have a huge order for them, which probably invalidated their previous order of A350's.

You're probably right, Max.

Anderson and the higher ups have openly expressed interest in the 330NEO... perhaps they will make us an offer we can't refuse on the oh so sexy 350?

ZOMG. Will there be ice cream and purple lights?

If we're talking simple aesthetics, the 787 IMO looks better than the A350. But the A350, is probably Airbuses sexiest looking jet eva!

There is a lot of Airbus 350 swag being handed out by the reps from Airbus! Going for the hard sell!

By experimental planes RA was referring to the 777X, which Delta is not interested in at all(likely because it's built almost specifically for Emirates' Ultra Long Haul Operations)

A350 has been an option for DAL

It requires a Delta designator to confuse @Seggy, a la 7ER. I believe this will be the largest sticking point.
