Jump to postIsn't a 787-10ER in the works? I think that would be the plane for a lot of airlines if it can get closer to the range of the 787-9 and A350
Jump to post\ There are still P8s and E7s being produced with the CFM56 engine. I stand corrected. I do wonder if Boeing can backtrack, with so many orders and the supply chain committed. But even then, the issue isn't a fundamental design issue, it's a quality issue and they can poorly build a 737-NG just as ...

UA CEO just meant that the -10 wont be in their fleet planning for the next couple of years and worded it in a way to make Boeing sweat, just to indicate they're unhappy with Boeing. He didn't say "We are looking to cancel the -10MAX order" quite the opposite.

I really hope that Boeing is designing a 737 replacement that should have been released 15-20 years go. The usefulness of the 737 frame has reached its ceiling its capable of and in hindsight the Max should have never been built. I know that some people like the look of the MAX, and I did at first,...

I found an interesting article by Forbes discussing, among other things, market share between the two major commercial aviation OEM's.
