United Studying Boeing 777X Jets for Long-Range Fleet, CFO Says - Bloomberg
United will study the benefits of the newest 777, unveiled this week with a
record $95 billion in orders, with an eye to the strain on its balance sheet from the 292 jets already on order, Rainey said.
The carrier has ruled out Airbus SAS’s A380, a double-decker capable of seating more than 500 passengers, as “really too big” for United’s needs, he said.
So glad we took the time to get that pay rate in our new contract. It's not like we didn't see that one coming.
