Wow, what a fan boy! All I did was throw 4 numbers out and you write a five paragraph essay. That's sad. Since you're such a big fan of numbers, I'll send you a few more.

Of the 848 A350 orders, 8 are for the -800, a model which will never be built. Too small and uneconomic they say. Oh really, the -800 would be about the same size as the 787-9 which has 675 orders and a far cry bigger than the 787-8 which has 426 orders. But you're right Dragon, airline planners prefer the A350.

Of the 848 A350 orders, 212 are for the -1000 model, although that number has gotten smaller over the last few months. This aircraft is designed to compete with the 777-300ER which has delivered more than 750 copies and has another 70+ orders to fill. Oh, and the 777X which has 326 orders. But you're right Dragon, airline planner prefer the A350.

You give up yet?
