About 3 weeks till we see A350 in AirlineSim!

Great!

Didn't know, that Reuters is publishing our data patches ;)

You really should know that by now...  :unsure:

There is some info over the A 350-900 on the Airbus official website:

http://www.airbus.com/fileadmin/media_gallery/files/tech_data/AC/Airbus-AC-A350-900-Oct14.pdf

It doesn’t present range vs payload charts though.

 

Thank you, but the manufacturer pages are the first to search for data. As you mentioned, no ranges or payloads are given and these are the most important data.

I found this

http://www.aviatorjoe.net/go/compare/A350-900/787-9/

not official data, though

Not as detailed as we need it ... (and somehow looking not very serious ;) )

The launch date is officially annouced:

Will we have the A350 on December 13?

 

I don’t think so. And just to be fair … Qatar won’t start servicing the a/c before Jan.

A350 DELIVERY DELAYED INDEFINITELY

http://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/qatar-airways-a350-delivery-suffers-last-minute-delay-406949/

*sigh* it has been confirmed that delivery is delayed

yeah, because according to QR the gap between the toilet seats and the seat bowls is excessive, allowing for the potential inadvertant lodging of body parts

Al Baker is negotiating this issue himself in the AB HQ with the top AB brass ...

as one of the posters on a.net wrote Who knew that there were such (cultural?) differences in how one uses the toilet in a seated position!

This whole issue is just ridiculous!

Anyone here can enlighten me why it isn't possible to take the aircraft and let Airbus send some technicians to solve the problem in Doha? ^^ (if they even take QR as launch customer I guess they would even do that...) 

Fixing a toilet "optically" doesn't sound like a big issue. :D

If this is really an issue ...

If this is really an issue ...

I heard Arabian women have a bigger than average back side... maybe he's just going the feminism way - but then again, it's Qatar we're talking about. :D

What about A350 in game world? Do we have a schedule or something? Where is Q400 NextGen by the way? 

They are all in test-mode. But the data is not that satisfying as intended.

This turned out to be a joke…

The actually problem was some technical issue that required more flights with Qatar Airways representatives, will be delivered on 22nd instead so only a very small delay. I don’t believe the inaugural flight (DOH-FRA) on the 15th Jan has changed.

I think using the word indefinitely was *somebod* short-selling Airbus...

Let's see if it happens this time:
