Mathill81,

I did not make up the A350-1000 comparison to the 747 - that's from
Airbus. Further down in the post, I did say say the 747-8 will
compete in the up to 440 seat aircraft market against the A350-1000.
And indeed, it will as will 777-300er which can stuff in as many as
440 seats but typically tops out at 390 seats in a three class
configuration. That said, I should have mentioned the 777 as an A350
competitor. It will be, but will be 15-year older technology than
the A350.

You added some good points, but my comparisons are correct.

Danfrsc - I've covered the 787 ad nauseum...about time I covered
Airbus, too.
