Agreed! Talk about annoying THREAD DRIFT.
I still think we are looking at a big MAX/E2 combo deal. Boeing is desperate and pricing for both the MAX and the E2 (now controlled by Boeing in a JV and no orders yet in the US I believe) should be optimal for a big bulk order.... Boeing needs big wins for both the MAX and the E2 and both could fit into a low cost route profile (E2 on shorter and thinner development routes).
Of course this is all complete speculation.... However, the lack of any word since the Paris Airshow means either Spirit is waiting for the MAX to get cleared to announce something or Spirit is a master negotiator grinding Airbus into the ground to retain their business. You never know...
Personally, I’d like to see a new fleet of yellow A220-300s to supplement the existing A321 fleet but I won’t hold my breath...
