Re: Delta orders 100 P&W powered A321neo aircraft, plus 100 options

I'm not surprised. Delta had already been trending Airbus with their previous orders for the A321, A330Neo and A350. No doubt Boeing has lost Delta.

Congrats to Airbus and P & W.

Re: Boeing 737 MAX 10 vs Airbus A321neo analysis

To me, the A321 will always better, because it's wider than the 737. And if you think the extra inch doesn't matter, you lead a blessed life and don't fly coach on 737s and 757s. Or an airline who doesn't care. But the Boeing Sky interiors feel wider, I know it's an illusion but they somehow do. Che...
