Good grief. This thread should be locked. Delta and Boeing are businesses, not beefing middle schoolers. Specifically, they are businesses in a world with few, and very large, players. Each needs the other and they will find a way to put aside irritations when the right deal is within reach. Exhbii...

Jump to postI know, I just trying to skip typeing the last 00. I suggest you to avoid doing that... it creates confusion over aircraft types. For example: There's no "767-3", there's 767-300. People may often mistake a 737-800 (NG) with a 737-8 (MAX). And also, people might think a "787-800"...
