RE: 30 B787 UFO's Are For A US Carrier (DELTA)

I highly doubt Delta places an order for 787's as quickly as everyone believes. I think if anything the next US airline to purchase them would be US Airways. If anything Delta will be the last to get the 787 because of their financial conditions. I believe Delta needs to wait and see how they do wit...
