Would absolutely jump out the window the second I had to sit right seat to the 24 year old 1500 TT United hire from 2022, absolutely no thanks to that.

FFS... would you give the pity party a rest already?

Don’t want to hear anyone trash talking the MAX anymore. The NEO family have been less than impressive. The trash table only does so much

There was never a "hiring 2000" for 2025 at United. It was high 900s and ended up being 1,700.

We have 3 787s assembled sitting on the ramp painted. Two of them are in flight tests. A 4th plane is currently on the assembly line. There are no reported delays for production. The only thing I've heard is the Polaris Suite configuration isn't going to be installed until March or April so either we take the planes with the current configuration or let them sit there in CHS and wait for the new configuration. Not sure why we would do that but there are no "production" issues on the 787 line per se.

The biggest constraint the 787s have are seat suppliers, not 787 aircraft production. Both Lufthansa and American have been having substantial delays this year because of their seat suppliers.

This is why there will be no acquisition of LCC carriers (Spirit, Frontier, Jetblue etc) because we can't configure those planes to our configuration and its a waste to buy another airline and then just keep low/negative margin coach seats in the market. If we could reconfigure those planes it might be different, but its not going to happen.

Less than impressive? Compared to the MAX? Let me know when the MAX carries 200 passengers as a domestic hauler, or will be the premium transcon aircraft starting next year since the Max 10 is still no where to be found (the leased CFM 321’s seat map with lie flat was just loaded in the FA FOM), or will replace the 757 to Europe. Sounds impressive enough to me.

The 6 NEO’s affected will have the software update and be back to flying in short order. Is it an issue? For sure, but not a catastrophic issue. And one that apparently is fixed rather easily.
