Lets not start to pull more one-armed-bandits than necessary. I'd started with Airbus in the very early 80s on an A300 and had former done some F/E trainings on a 707 and also on the 727. At that time Airbus has had the more future related aircrafts and Boeing had wasted a lot of time with old fashioned things until the 777 came out. Sometimes you make your decision and Im an Airbus man since then. Thats means not Im a Boeing hater, but sometimes they got us scratching our heads and ask "how could they"?
Whats would come very interesting is the thing, how your new prez would handle the "homemade things", I mean if he forces your airlines to stop all Airbus orders and lay strictly onto Boeing?

The A350 also uses Lithium ion batteries.
Yes the 787 ran into problems with the Lithium ion batteries but that's bc they were first and helped perfect it for Airbus to use.
