The LATAM birds (currently 35L) will be converted to this as well.

I’m assuming this is how Delta is planning to fight weight restrictions that often necessitate a fuel stop on the return.
The fuel stops is because of head winds, Normally these flights go out with passengers. I have a very good friend who is a pursuer on these routes. ALl the FA's hate the A350.
