So the "rumours" that they were leasing the remaining 4 from GECAS seems to be accurate. Boeing’s order update this week shows BA has ordered 2 77Ws.

I think if Boeing can improve the operational numbers of the B77W, offer BA some good prices and get to work on the B777 replacement, BA could certainly order more B77W's and wait for a potential "Y3"....IMHO of course. http://www.atwonline.com/news/story.html?storyID=13555 What’s interesting is according to this ATWonline news, Boeing might have a B777 replacement between 2020-2025….that would be only a few years between BA

Hm, sounds just the recipe for the A380 as well! “The real mistake is to starve a highly successful program that is behind schedule to feed a sick old dog no one wants.”

The A350 is pretty much sold out through 2017, 2 years after the targeted EIS of the -1000. (Pre-emptive measure rather than reactive, vis a vis the 77W order? :-) ) Surely one would surmise that locking in an A350-1000 order sooner rather than later would ensure good delivery positions?

The -1000 is being considered by BA as part of their major relacement RFP. This lease/buy deal for 77Ws is a tactical order. What will be decided later this year is the strategic decision. Don't confuse the two. Surprising is the absence of reference to any potential order for the A350-1000
