Personal opinion but I think Airbus would be even more popular if they went back to a yoke control instead of the video game style side stick.
Delta maintains the largest Airbus fleet of any US carrier, this should certainly not be shocking, but rather expected.

The 777 is still the gold standard (notably the 300ER) for wide body twinjets, such a great aircraft! The 8/9/8F will simply build on that when they start entering service in the next 24 months. The 777X will be a game changer on many fronts. Numerous current A350 operators also have orders for the 777X.
