The United States, UK and Europe need to ban aircraft that have flown over Russia. Level the playing field.

That may be so, but what is the position contractually? I think what this means is that the A350 order will not proceed on current contract terms, especially with regards to the price. So if UA makes any A350 orders, it will be a fresh order with that 45 aircraft order cancelled without any penalti...

Jump to postAnd this by no means has nothing to do with the 350. I just think the 350 commitment was more imminent seeing as Boeing cannot deliver 777Xs. So in effect. Just rather take the 777Xs later, take the 787-9s (these are lower risk and versatile and much cheaper). Your arguments for the 787-9 are funny...
