Re: AA 777-200ER replacement, A350 , 787-9 order potential

I'm in the camp that roots for American "doing United". I see American increase the order for A350-900 to replace all of its 777-200ERs with options for larger -1000 as an eventual replacement for its 777-300ERs as well.

Keep dreaming. A350 order at United is here to stay - much to yours, and others, dismay. And it opens the door for A350-1000 as an eventual replacement of the 777-300ER.

Fair comparison. A A321 with 2 tanks carries roughly as much fuel as a 737 with one tank.
