I think I'm just glad to see the motion is now at congress and we know at least an extension has been formally requested and will most likely be granted.

Jump to postMy reading of that article seems to say that an extension remains possible. My personal opinion is that the extension should be granted. But that Congress and the FAA (and likely EASA) are pretty unhappy about the CEO's threat to cancel the 10 and by extension the 7. They suspect that this is an ex...

To bad we do not know what reference "fuel burden" refers too - and is it the same in both cases? If it is trip fuel vs. the 777-300ER it would be very good, if it is per passenger, it would be roughly in the bracket of the a350-1000 vs. 777-300ER - which is still good, but not as spectac...

Jump to postThere is a reason Delta and United are continuing to use their 767-300ERs. Yes, they have a bunch of them, and pilots to fly them. They may as well wear them out.

Jump to postLet me offer a different perspective. In markets where range is needed, AA can go from 77W to 789. With a low-density cabin the 789 range will be great. For markets where a larger cabin is needed, the 787-10 can be used. If demand warrants more seats where the 789 is too small, AA can play with fre...

NLT at a point was what Boeing wanted to use to replace the whole 737 line. I don’t know how successful that would’ve been
