The buying isn’t over. Ed had all but said over the last two years that we need Boeing aircraft on property to keep things honest. I could see at the very least the Max 8 coming on board to replace aging 738s.

No, it happened, they went to SWA, United, and Alaska.

I think we will see a order for about 200 of either the 737Max8 or the A320NEO (or the A220-500 if that materializes) in the coming months
I doubt we will ever see new 320’s at this airline. Maybe some used ones if they are really cheap. For sure we will never see more 319’s with the 220 fleet.

I would agree, if airbus does not launch an A220-500 I would think we will see 737M8s

I keep hearing rumors of the L1011 Max. Supposed to be a game changer.

Airbus makes a superior product, at least from the passenger and commercial pilot end, and it’s no longer even close.(Your mileage may vary).

Interesting change of direction from a company known for at least a decade for grabbing the “low hanging fruit” (717s). Maybe the rumored “fire sale” of the MAXes didn’t materialize?
Agreed. How can we get guys to shut up with all the 787 crapola and start talking 'more 350s'? IT's a better airplane by miles.

I think part of the 787 is it’s been Lucy and the football for years. You just want it because you can’t get it! Sign me up for more 330/350s every day. I want a side stick and table when headed out for 10 hours.

Delta Air Lines will never have a 73Max on property. Every other US airline has them, we will not. If Delda wanted them we would have already been the first to say so. NB future is the 220 and NEO for the next decade. Both sip the gas of anything currently out there in their category.
