Oct. 19: AMR says it has changed an option for a smaller, cheaper 777-200ER into a firm order for a 777-300ER, raising the number of -300ERs to nine.

We can't wait until the 10-K comes out in early 2012 to see how many more AMR has ordered between now and then.

List price is $298.3 million per airplane, in case you're in the market.



That's some pretty good 'negotiating leverage' right there, for the company!

Oh, and the ATL CP told me the very reason Delta's NOT getting -any- new 777's...that $298M price tag!
