We will have a fleet of 787 before it’s all said and done is my prediction. The 767 fleet is the first to retire out of the wide bodies. Delta wanted the 797 but that’s way far away. Delta could use the 330-900 as a bargaining chip to Boeing saying we are just going to order more of those and you have nothing in the works to match it unless you give us a deal on 787
The assembly line of the 787 is not as full as it once was in the mid 2020s either

Why don't we make an offer for Norwegian's 787's?

I would doubt the 777 fleet is going away anytime soon. I suspect the 767-300 will be out of the picture by 2025 though, if they don't redo those interiors.
Delta started 747 cabin retrofits in 2012

Yeah I went and looked after I posted and saw that . Hopefully they’ll have that version up shortly. On iPhone, it’s working normal again since I updated to 2.4.0

Is Norwegian going out of business for sure?

Is Airbus taking for granted the Airbus-heavy fleet?

Still cannot fly LAX-SYD. Can't fly JFK-BOM.
Did we just not pay for the desired performance from the outset?

Sounds like something we would do.

But according to flightaware the distance from lax-syd is 7700 miles, dtw-pvg on DAL 350 is 8500, so why cant it do sydney?

Ewr-bom comes up at 7800.

At least according to flightaware.
