JAL will have two A350-1000 when they start operations. Not enough to do all JFK flights. Even doing 1 rotation 100% will not be possible, as they will need some time for maintenance checks. Looking at how the flights are timed, I would imagine that they would cycle through both JL4/3 and JL6/5. But once we see the airframe pattern when JL4/3 comes back in operation we can start making more qualified guesses.
