Sorry for changing topic folks, but I was just wondering if there is any scope on EI looking for earlier delivery of some A350s. The first 4 were originally due this year before the company deferred them until 2018 during the depths of the financial crisis. Given the expansion of long haul, and the cancellation of the Emirates order, would they be interested in taking some of their production slots? MSN038 hasn't got an owner according to this link

Could be had Q2 next year by the looks of it. They could get all 9 by the end of next year if they wanted (not that they would). Any decision on the 6 options yet or are they waiting for the A330 NEO stats to be released? I know they plan on keeping the 330s until they are to be scrapped, last 3 of those arrived in 08, and EI-LAX was delivered in 1999 so plenty of legs left in the newer ones.
