Off topic a little bit even it is related to 777X.
Does anyone knows who is StratAero twitter "@strataero". From the re-tweet Uresh Sheth (owner of All Things 787 blog), I feel StratAero is so biased against Airbus I will give some examples below but not only today's tweet, saw a lot of tweets in the past which he was making 787 as undisputed winner against Airbus counterpart before FAA grounded 787
examples:
#777 sales will dent #A350-1000 appeal even further

StratAero is run by the biggest Airbus basher you'd find on the net, Saj Ahmad. He's well known for spouting utter BS about Airbus while posing as an aerospace "expert". It's so bad that there's an entire blog dedicated to fact-checking his tripe, not to mention his dodgy credentials too. sajahmadfactcheck.blogspot.ca/This is a frequently popping BS. The single biggest reason why the 77W/L succeeded in beating the A345/6 is because of the 4 engines vs. 2. At the time of its development, Airbus hadn't expected the changes to ETOPS/ LROPS that made the quads less necessary. The 777X on the other hand goes head to head with Airbus's very own big twin and unless Boeing can put in as much clear daylight technologically between the two as between a quad vs. twin, there's no way in the world the 777X could "decimate" the A350-1000. You could however see that wherever Airbus pitched an identical engined aircraft to compete with other Boeing types, they were massively successful: A320 vs. 737, A330 vs. 767/772, A380 vs. 747, A358/9 vs. 787. There's no reason to say that the A350-1000 is a "DOA". It will be a successful aircraft.
