Would the EK A350 order change to Boeing?

[EK773ER]

Just wandering what your thoughts are on the possibility of Emirates changing the Airbus A350 order to a Boeing order?

I guess the possibilities of Boeing aircraft would be the 777NG Or to a lesser extent maybe changing the order to the 787 (not realistic IMHO as it's too small for EK's use).

Or any thoughts on EK maybe just reducing the number of A350's ordered and increasing the Boeing order?

So, all rumors and thoughts are welcome. And by the way, this is not an A vs B, it's just a question I had, and wanted to think of which direction our company may take if any as there are as always many rumors in the flight deck.

Cheers!

TC said he was happy with the 359 but putting pressure on AB for the 1000 to perform better , that puts pressure on Boeing to improve the 777 or come up with a new one, the 787 is too small. the 350 order is 70 firm 50 options if the 1000 does not improve say good by to the 50 options. TC also said you come up with a 777NG ill buy 100. Still no change to the fleet size of 250 by 2020 but the DXB air show might see an update

Last of the current 777 order will be delivered end of year 2013. Jurassic 772/773 start being returned that same year (4 in 2013 I believe). Strong rumour of extra 77Fs (8 to 10?).
350 is replacing 332(29)/340(18)/772/773 (is that 16 jurassics?). 250 aircraft by 2020 is restricted by DXB. It would seem that no more than this can be squeezed in parking or operationally.
So going by the order book now, it would seem that 90 x 380, 70 x 350 (if it works), 90 x 777 would be the fleet by 2020.
I am really hoping I am not still here to see if that's what happens though.

It's possible that on this year's Dubai Air Show, EK will order 30 additional A380's. And I thought there was an expansion plan for DXB.
