Keeping the A350βs on order but deferring delivery probably works out for everyone.
Airbus can find more profitable uses for the delivery slots, but they keep some leverage on UAL to keep them buying A320 family UAL has an insurance option in case Boeing runs into a problem and keeps Boeing honest I donβt think anyone minds the current situation From: Robert S.

Perhaps going for a 787 mix that covers all its bases instead? Or keeping its options (pun intended) open. . . .
