According to DL net we have 3 MTOWs for the 350

624k
617k
606k

so 18k lbs and it does not appear to be retrofitted.

LATAM birds got recertified to 606K I think they were 596K.

Some of our original planes went from 606 to 617k. Order ones had to stay at 606k.

The newest batch are all at 624K.

I believe the fleet said that all the recertification was done the lower planes can’t go any higher now.

We are definitely getting them because Delta likes having the most complicated fleet.

What are the betting odds that United takes delivery of the Boom Jet before we order 787s? 😂
