Word on the street is that Delta is transferring the remainder of their A321 order to us (about 100 planes) because they scored a deal with Boeing on Max 10’s. Deliveries end of next year.

Falls in line with the last interview of Christie saying we were looking at 321 NEO’s.

Now we have Guitar Hero who goes NORDO for four gd months after he took the helm... but vomits out six emails in one week when the stock is at 52 week lows.
But don’t forget, we are “family”

Purchase price or lease terms, spares, pilot/crew training, sims, pre negotiated power plant prices, maintenance training and discounts, etc etc etc.

There are dozens and hundreds of facets to sweeten a large aircraft order that would facilitate a fleet change or at very least a large operational change to accommodate different types.

Literally every corporation I have worked for and my wife has worked for has used the word family when referring to employees. Do they teach that in some HR course? I can’t think of anyone that believes that BS yet every company uses the terminology. I find it insulting that they actually think saying family is going to get employees more engaged. You know what gets employees engaged? Profit sharing! Tell them let’s all get rich together and get out there and make that money. The rah rah nonsense is so tired in corporate America.

“Pizza and ice cream.”

Now I remember. Inspiring words from our new CEO.

The next time we heard from him was a painfully scripted response a month after he insulted the entire pilot group with his “low tier” insult.

A month. With BOHICA by his side.

Gawd that was painful to watch.

And yet.

So much more than what we have now...

“Family.”

Someone que Inigo Montoya please...

While I will never dismiss any rumor, the 737 max 10 will not be into service until 2022 I think, and that’s if Boeing can get their crap together on the max 8. We have 100 neos to begin delivery next year. They were supposed to start in March , they have been delayed for what they are calling parts issues. But if this rumor were true, we would not be getting at least 50 planes we were supposed to get by 2022.
We also have 100 options on this plane so a scenario that could happen with this rumor is possibly spirit taking some of our options and us splitting the order by receiving 100 max 10s instead

Not sure if the Max 10 is actually in play or not. Just assumed it would be since it’s nearest in size to the 321. Could be Max 9’s

Ok what is your source then, because on this thread and our delta thread you posted saying it was for the max 10, now you are saying well I don’t know maybe it’s for the max 9
