Those Airbus a350 delivery slots are so valuable. For American Airlines to just give up those a350 delivery slots and have to go to the back of the line for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner would mean American Airlines takes much longer to modernize their fleet.
Did you even watch the video? No, of course you didn’t, because otherwise you would’ve known the order was for the A350-800 variant, which Airbus canceled and has no plans to resurrect. American had no need of the larger -900 or -1000, and the 787-10 was the only other aircraft in the segment.
American has done the same thing that United did. They both ditched the A350 and are going towards buying more 787s which in my opinion they should have both kept their A350 orders. The A350s would have benefited their long haul routes even more and they could even put the A350 on their longest of routes but they both decided to cancel.

@@PlaneSpotterRVer314 They are efficient on the a350 because they are underpowered 🤣. Airbus is always making their planes underpowered, which is why Delta and Ethiopian are both having problems with the a350 takeoff performance.

@@LordPanda-wz9oqthey are replacing their older 200ERs with 787s and the 300ERs wouldn’t need replacing until at least the early 2030s.

And it worked, their aircraft maintenance costs have come down even though their fleet has grown.
Boeing really has to get their act together, just looking at the Airbus commonality cockpit lay out and how fast pilots can be cross trained after initial type certification across Airbus families . If American has enough 787 in their fleet and does not need it good for them

I know I might get some slack for saying this. If you look at the history of choices that U.S. military made in some planes and fighter jets, they let some real good stuff past them by. I'm not surprised they did this. The history still lives on

So maybe you can explain how Delta, JetBlue, American, United, Spirit, Frontier, and Hawaiian all have large Airbus fleets? Same government, same politics. Your comment does not make sense.
Yes, I think they should've followed through. Since American Airlines retired its fleet of A330s in 2020, originally placed by US Airways, its widebody fleet consists of only Boeing aircraft; which could be problematic because of the profits>safety crisis, government oversight, quality control issues, and more which could lead to delays and affect safety; which is now much worse since the airline canceled the A350 order originally by US Airways. What was the point if Airbus had to send one of their A350s to fly over American's headquarters all those years ago?

They should have kept their A350 after delivery until they got their 787s, then sold their A350s.
Smart people, really smart. The same ones that said they would go to Airbus and get A320/A321s before everyone else in line...

Same reason Delta cancelled the 787 order.
They’re buying more Airbus A350s and their also adding the MAX 10 to the fleet. They mad the smart choice with canceling the 787 order for A35ks
The Max10's are probably part of the cancellation deal.

Delta was the wisest of the legacies.
This was in early 2018, so several months before the start of the Boeing saga. Which no one knew it would happen.
NO, Boeing Senior Management and Board KNEW it could happen just hopefully after they took retirement?
@@trevorhart545he definitely means nobody in the public…

So true 💯
For real
they should have just gone with the a350
I was expecting some analysis on this video but it left it up for the comments. Sad.
Others became happy!
🤔Bargain are Bargain, Airbus and Boeing under pressure!!⚠️all are about DISCOUNTS ...Delta and 787, remember.
They got their marching orders.
the a350 is so much better than the 787 in almost every way. i dont even trust boeing anymore so they should’ve kept the order
Uh… ok.. sure
I wouldn't go that far with the plastic
More comfortable too
The a350 is less advanced and less efficient.
Yes they should have kept the A350 orders.
I think it is good that some American airlines focus on buying mostly American planes.

Because they don’t like products that are good like the product they offer on their planes
I wonder why airbus dropped the A350-800
To make the A330neo
Agree with American decision.
Yea, you would. Typical american
For the same reason no American carriers bought the A380…
Political reasons.

That’s why they have ordered over 500 narrowbody aircraft from Airbus in the last 2 decades huh? I swear you guys just say goofy stuff 😂
I liked US Airways but they merged too many times and American gobbled them up and ruined the brand.
The real reason is that American broke down and took advice from Nicky Oliver. 👀
