Yep, fair point ExtraShot, the A350 could well be a potent competitor to the 777 for replacing the jumbos down the track. My "0%" comment was only in regards to the next few years and specifically any announcement this month.
With the -1000 not flying yet and an LR version of the -900 not yet publicly announced, I feel such an order is probably a few years off.

Your comment about wanting to get the remaining A380 orders off the books with a swap to another Airbus type is right on the money from what I hear. The same could probably be said for a few dozen A320 orders made in haste when Asia looked to be an easy market for JQ to spread into.
