Falls in line with the last interview of Christie saying we were looking at 321 NEO’s.
While I will never dismiss any rumor, the 737 max 10 will not be into service until 2022 I think, and that’s if Boeing can get their crap together on the max 8. We have 100 neos to begin delivery next year. They were supposed to start in March , they have been delayed for what they are calling parts issues. But if this rumor were true, we would not be getting at least 50 planes we were supposed to get by 2022.
We also have 100 options on this plane so a scenario that could happen with this rumor is possibly spirit taking some of our options and us splitting the order by receiving 100 max 10s instead
