Nice, though you left out the best one:First A350 out of the paint shop:
If Airbus manages to get this out in a reasonably timely fashion, not several years 787-style late, it's going to be a very strong competitior, as the larger A350-900 and -1000 (Replacements for the A340-300/600 respectively) will bring tough competitor to the 777-200/300ER. The current version of the 787 (787-8) is a smaller jet, from what I understand it's mostly used on long and "thin" intercontinental routes with few(ish) passengers. This is a different approach by Boeing and Airbus; When bringing out their first composite airliner they prioritized differently, Boeing brings out the smaller wide-body-liner, while Airbus goes for the big one. The latter obviously aiming to replace their 4-engine workhorse A340 which is sensible. On the narrow body market, they are both most likely to be beaten to it by Bombardier with their C-series
