Yeah but..........Delta was actively taking delivery of juuuuuust a few narrow body aircraft to take their place. Not taking any deliveries that I know of right now....

While its only just barely written on the steam on the bathroom mirror at this point, aren't we still getting some 350's and 220's at least?

 

Not to mention the question of whatever came of the company talking about deferring scheduled deliveries, aka remaining 321 CEOs and 321NEOs? Did they or did they not defer those? If they didn’t, do they just leave older, paid off 320s in storage as an immediate flex fleet and fly the newer jets that have a banknote? I’ve lost track of what the “latest” is.

 

Not sure about that. However there may be even more variables at play.



Have you ever heard the story of Darth MAXius the cheap?

 

It is proceeding as I have foreseen.

 

Well...some of the vacancies (350/330/220) posted are for aircraft deliveries so that is a positive. Unless they are just posting wishful thinking, of course. 🤔🙄

 

Well played.

I am still curious if anyone knows what came of the intent to push off deliveries?

 

What I read from a couple months ago (I know, I know, ancient history), all deliveries were put on hold. Haven't read anywhere that any have resumed.

I suspect we are in negotiations with Airbus. Many of those deliveries were inside the normal contractual window to cancel. Airbus could force us to take them. They probably don’t want to alienate one of their biggest customers and will play ball to a certain extent however they are also fighting for their own survival.

”The chief executive of Airbus told employees that the company is “bleeding cash” and warned that its survival was at stake unless it took immediate action.

Guillaume Faury warned in a letter to workers, first reported by Bloomberg, that a recent plan to cut production rates by one-third didn’t reflect the worst-case scenario, and would be kept under review.

“We’re bleeding cash at an unprecedented speed, which may threaten the very existence of our company,” Faury wrote in the letter to staff sent late on Friday. “We must now act urgently to reduce our cash-out, restore our financial balance and, ultimately, to regain control of our destiny,” he added.

 

If i could bleed cash......id cut my wrists.
