Pushing What, the E190 E2? Boeing now has a relationship with Embraer and they need orders. Lets hope we don’t get RJ’s. An order for more A320 aircraft would be our best move.

Santa Claus said it’s more Airbuses. The elves at the North Pole are still trying to get things in order so they will be a little behind schedule.

Definitely not the E2, management confirmed that ac won’t work. Boeing literally is saying buy 2 get 1 free on the 737.

Yup! 901 just got another new engine. Clearly the issues aren't fixed. Plus the amount of fume events. 902 has fume issues. CP told me 3 more NEO's coming in January. Oh boy!

Actually, with the delivery of the new tails this month, the current Neo’s are being taken off the line to have their engine bleed air systems modified to fix the bearing clearance issues. New NEOs come modified from the factory.

Or so I had heard.

So how long have we had these things on property? Two years? 3? And now this is the second time the 5 of them are being grounded for SERIOUS mechanical issues... what a piece of Labrador excrement...why can’t we just clear all the orders for IAE airframes...fuel savings? Yes we’re saving a ton on fuel when they’re all parked in DFW
