-AA could turn out to be a threat in the future, UAL spending is WAY high compared to profits, beating SWA out of ATL and not a threat.
just regurgitating what I heard.
RA needs an airplane that he can overfly Narita with. A re engined 330 isn't the best solution for that. It
is a good solution for a 767 replacement. I'm sure any 777's that get added to the order books would be straight replacements for the 747. I'd be surprised if Airbus goes ahead with a 330neo, given the investment in the 350 and the potential for cannibalising those orders
