A bit surprising order. But I guess they are looking to get some bigger planes in quick, and additional A350s are not easy to come by quickly.

Didn't Mr. Leahy claim that the push backs did not matter as they anyway overbooked their production capacity? And they need to catch up on the existing delay as well....

JAL?????2019??????????? | ??????? | JAL?????
Looks like JL isn't going to reallocate these orders to its "LCC" after all. First domestic 788 will be deployed on HND-ITM from Fall 2019

Pretty sure newer deliveries are more efficient than the first batch JL received.
