A350’s?

I had the honor of sitting next to an off duty FA based out of KEWR on a flight back to EWR from TPA.

I was talking with him throughout the flight, and I eventually asked, what’re you up to this week?

He told me he was heading to Jo-Burg that week, and I asked what plane he’d be flying in.

I (semi-jokingly) asked him if he knew if United was going to incorporate a fleet of A350’s this year, to maybe expand the scope of United routes, to which he basically said he’s heard rumors saying so.

I know these are just rumors, but incorporating new Long-range Airbuses (after saying they would years ago), would be huge.
