While that was the plan at one point in time, it no longer is. Deliveries for the year will be below 100; the most recent estimate was from Q4 of last year at 106 deliveries for 2024 but that was before the MAX 9 issues and the slowing down of the production line by the FAA. And even at 106 deliveries they hinted it would be a stretch. Boeing MAX issues, PW issues on the NEO, and I'm guessing actual delievieris will be in the range of 85-95. A far cry from the 145plus planned a couple years ago which has been revised downward ever since it was issued. The whole "one airplane every couple days" just isnt going to happen for the foreseeable future. All of this why they are coming out with an admended "United Next" plan on investor day in May to adapt to the realities of the supply constraints.
