No, SWA and Alaska won't be buying any of these. I'm guessing the overhead isn't an issue.
OTOH, The 737 Max 10 just sold like hotcakes in Paris. Apparently, every airline management group has no idea what the difference is between 1960 and 2017.

I see the -10 stands on it's tippy-toes for T.O. The MLG extends 9" for rotation clearance..... What could go wrong?:rolleyes:

A350 orders are being cutback to only 15.

That is not official. 350 orders are still at 25, however it is likely that 10 of those will be converted to 339s due to said korean vice china hub issue.

Even more of a reason to get the 330/764 banded with the 777/350.

Exactly! Off the top of my head, like FedEx and AA

Now back to the -90 going away. What's this week's version of that?

June 27, 2017 from flightglobal.com

"Delta Air Lines has pulled its first Boeing MD-90 from service, as it prepares to begin a three-year drawdown of its MD-88 fleet.

The aircraft (MSN 53382) was withdrawn from service on 23 June, Flight Fleets Analyzer shows and a spokesman for the Atlanta-based carrier confirms. The aircraft had 58,772 cycles and 31,998 hours at the end of 2016.

The MD-90 was one of the first two delivered to launch customer Delta on 24 March 1995, the database shows."

But- that big light bulb will only come on during RECALL. Up to that point it will stay silent- waiting for an inconvient time to tell you "I'm broken!"
