So much for piles of replacement 747-8's or whatever the rumor of the week was. We got an extra 1000 lbs of MTOW on the 738's.

Yayyyyyy. Way to stick it to 'em, boys.
Rumor is that was part of it.

I heard the orders/options books had changed from Boeing, but I was not sure if that was part of the penalties.

I do know DAL does not seem to be happy with Boeing as of late though.
