Jump to postI would say the question is not "if?" but "when?". One of the reason an airline, even a "full service one" choose the A350 now is that they may go to 10A in Y in the future even if not at first. Emirates incredible groth in the 2000's was due to their mega hub strategy ...

Jump to postKirby/United had plenty of chance to buy Airbus planes. But they ended buying 20*77W, 150*787 and 350*737max. Now they want the A321NEO fast.

Jump to postI really don't get how an airline can be upset with Boeing delays given that the manufacturer has rushed things through which led to serious safety problems.

Jump to postAs I understand the article, a narrowbody order will be announce on 4th March. So the order is already negociated at this point and 737max8 are a given.
