Word floating around spirit is that there’s a deal in the works for Spirit to take Deltas 100 321 NEO’s and Delta struck a deal with Boeing for the Max 10’s. Any word of something like this around delta?

Only rumor I’ve heard is that we are going to exercise our 100 NEO options and take all 200....possible convert some to LR/XLR versions.

Shouldn’t you wait at least until October to start telling ghost stories like that?

I hope this is the truth, the max 10 not only is it a max, but it’s so long that the gear has to be redesigned and it has to collapse to fit into the 1968 designed belly of the aircraft.

The Max-8 is the clear favorite of other Air Lines having ordered 2700+. The Max-10 has only sold 500’ish. Max-9 only 250 and the big loser is the Max-7 with only 60 orders.

I predict the 737 will be the downfall of Boeing and southwest, at least until southwest learns fifi.

Perfect time for delta to come in and get one of their “sweetheart deals” to save a company like the 220
The only difference is the 220 is actually a good plane unlike the max
I pray to god this rumor is false. The 321 neo is very capable and will work great with crew commonality

Also what could happen if delta wants the max 10 they could give some or all of our 100 options to spirit and then we would have a split of both. I find it hard to believe that delta would just give away 100 airplanes over the next 4 years when the max 10 wont even be ready until 2022 I think and that’s all based on the max 8 flying again soon.
