Guess who the launch customer for the MD-90 was. Hint: ALASKA AIRLINES.
Now guess how many MD-90s showed up on the property. Hint: Zero.
Orders are easy to cancel. An old Navy CPO once told me, "Never believe the rumors of new aircraft until they show up on the ramp AND they turn over the maintenance logbooks."
Sorry maybe I wasn’t clear. We will have 72 Airbus once the rest of the 321 neos are delivered. There are about 40 737 orders. This is a net loss of 30 mainline airframes if they dump the Airbus. That’s not including any 737 retirements there could be.
The 320 orders were just a side comment.
Is this current airframe plan incorrect? I think the number to cancel the Airbus orders is on the order of 15 million but don’t quote me.
