AA in talks with Airbus
 

Interesting.. Makes sense with B6

American Said to Be In Talks for 100 Airbus Single-Aisle Planes - Bloomberg

Wonder if this will force Boeing into the contest for a 737 NEO option?

or merge with USA

Or looking at something to eventually replace their old and massive MD80 fleet.

if there is a merger it will be B6 buying AA...they're broke in case you haven't heard

They're broke only because AA Management wants to dump the Pilot Pay restoration, and cancel the Pilot Pensions...

I've seen this game plan before at Northwest when Management adjusted the numbers so that they could cry CH11 and dump pensions while cutting pay.

The sooner the better.

Wow, is Boeing getting their buts kicked, or what?

Mixed fleet , so many companies do it.

Correct... AMR doesn't want to rely on just one manufacturer, in case the assembly line gets shut down. Fleet diversification can make sense. Especially with the deal Airbus is probably offering.

Nothing like keeping more Europeans employed. And then we wonder why unemployment is so high in the USA. This, in my opinion, is just as bad as cabotage. Dell lost me as a repeat customer because I got tired of talking to someone in India every time I had a problem. We continue to be our own worst enemy. Maybe we should look to Europe for our CEO's. At least they don't soak the company for millions in bonuses and pay every year. :rolleyes:
