Possible Plane Order

Boeing is expected to Launch the NMA or 797 at this years Paris Air Show. This plane is going to be a 757/767 replacement. Could be a narrow body but reports suggest a small wide body is being considered.

Spirit is expected to announce a new plane order any day now.

What if Spirit is the Launch Customer of the NMA? Have no idea if we will buy this plane, but I think we could make it work.

The A320 has worked out well for us. As far as a geared engine, name one geared engine that worked correctly on a plane?

If a plane comes out without mechanical issues, I’m sure we can make money with them.

Paris Air Show is June 23rd 2019. So that time line lines up well with Boeing’s expected Launch Announcement. Customers for the plane would be revealed as well.

Absolutely possible... the 321LR won’t work with our seating configuration. We need an aircraft that has legs and can carry 250-270 pax.
