An example of how little list prices actually mean and an insight regarding the price range Airbus offered the A350s to DL. In 2014, the list price for the A359 was 295.2 million USD and the 789 was 257.1 million USD.

For example, our Market Intelligence indicated that Delta Air Lines wanted a price of $115m for 787-9s; Boeing would only go to $125m. Airbus was in this range for the A350-900 and won the deal (along with a companion order for the A330-900).

I've just realised something, not all A350s have tail cameras, it seems to be a customer option

Airlines with a tail camera
Qatar                  flic.kr/p/qe3nVy
Finnair               flic.kr/p/tpDqbG
(LA)TAM           flic.kr/p/yo72zH
Cathay Pacific      flic.kr/p/DWJzTD
Thai                   flic.kr/p/EEART1

Airlines without a tail camera
Vietnam              flic.kr/p/xB6Hin
Singapore            flic.kr/p/yhU5cV
Ethiopian         flic.kr/p/FbK4Ht
China Airlines       flic.kr/p/EVAFqq
Sri Lankan       flic.kr/p/FGhGFY

Inflight deployment of thrust reverser can have catastrophic consequences, think of Lauda Air Flight 004...

Not that I will be buying a a350, just curious to know how much the camera option would cost. I personally would prefer to have the camera mounted on the belly instead of the tail. It's more entertaining to watch the wheels touching down the runway.

Tail, Nose Wheel and Belly (pointing straight down).
