That and Boeing was a bit arrogant on the details thinking we had to have the longer range on the 787. The Airbus price on the 330-900's going to Delta I also heard was beyond low. I had hoped we might pick up a few more near term IGW's since Airbus just slashed production rates 40% but I guess not.
One interesting thing about the Delta fleet plan. AvWeek just posted the costs to operate most current aircraft types not counting employee costs, just fuel and maintenance. The 737-900 was the lowest cost narrow body with the 737-800 in second place. The A330-300 was the cheapest widebody although the 787 was not listed yet.
