    I thought I heard this morning that Delta announced a 20B order from Boeing. They're working out the details now.
    It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

      Yeah, I'd heard that too.

      125 Boeing 787s. With options for more.

            It makes sense. Delta's new approach is that of a customer-friendly, hip airline...and 787s are all about passenger comfort.

            They've lots of aging airliners that need replacing:
            121 Boeing 757-200
            28 Boeing 767-300
            53 Boeing 767-300ER
            21 Boeing 767-400ER
            120 McDonnell Douglas MD-88
            16 McDonnell Douglas MD-90-30

            Taking this into account, the 125 is pretty small...

                Looks like it's about to crash. True Russian technology.

                  It already has a smoke trail, probably been shot down by Hindu missiles.

                    What a tacky paint job...

                    Anyway, didn't AeroFlot buy Boeing 787s recently?

                      Yeah. They keep ordering Boeings and Airbuses, rather than Russian planes.

                      BTW -- I read a morbidly hilarious article on a mid-90s Russian jetliner crash. It seems the pilot let his kids fly the plane, which then sent it into an unrecoverable spin. Typical Russian, isn't it?

                              Aeroflot 787 order part of deepening Boeing-Russia ties
                              Tuesday June 12, 2007

                              Despite the fact that its initial order lapsed last November and it signed on for 22 A350 XWBs in the interim, Aeroflot opted to join the rush to order the 787 with a commitment to Boeing for a reported 22 aircraft.

                              The manufacturer released a statement Saturday saying it was "very pleased that Aeroflot has selected the 787 Dreamliner for its fleet requirements" and that it "looks forward to working with Aeroflot to finalize the order." It provided no other information and the SU agreement is not part of its 787 order book, which now stands at 584 firm and 45 pending contract signing.

                              However, widespread reports out of St. Petersburg from both Russian and international news agencies pegged the order at 22 aircraft with deliveries to start in 2014. SU CEO Valery Okulov and Boeing Commercial Airplanes President Scott Carson were in the city to negotiate the deal and spoke to media there. Okulov said the 787 order would not affect SU's deal with Airbus (ATWOnline, March 23). The aircraft will be 787-8s, according to Bloomberg News, which reported from Moscow.

                              Reports of renewed negotiations between Boeing and Aeroflot surfaced in recent days and followed what was thought to be an awkward period during which Russian National Reserve Corp.--a major SU shareholder--lost its delivery slots for 22 787s (ATWOnline, Nov. 7, 2006) while relations between the US and Russia appeared to strain.

                              Those ties now have been strengthened by more than just SU's 787 order. In addition, the manufacturer announced an expanded collaboration agreement with Sukhoi under which Boeing will "expand its advisory role" on the Superjet 100 program (see item below). Its assistance will include flight and maintenance crew training, spare part management and supply, production of flight and maintenance manuals and after-sale support. The companies have been working together since 2002.
