Delta Air Lines to order up to 100 Boeing 737 MAX 10 jets, sources
Boeing is edging towards a landmark order from Delta Air Lines for up to 100 of its 737 MAX 10 jets, a model it is battling in separate talks to get approved before year-end rule changes, people familiar with the matter said. (www.airlinerwatch.com) 更多...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
It’s disgusting to see Boeing still putting economics ahead of safety by running to the politicians to get around an FAA deadline. By stretching the fuselage again it’s going to make takeoffs a real adventure. It’s going to need a lot of runway to avoid a tail strike plus it has the same engine as the other MAX aircraft so unless its approved for a higher takeoff thrust it’s not going to have very good performance numbers. The telescopic gear might be a real adventure too. This isn’t the same Boeing that designed and built the 757.
Recently flew Boeing 737-9 MSP-FLL-MSP in economy. If they intend to pack the 10 as they have the 9, I'll be looking for another airline.
737 Max 10 would be a crummy replacement for a 757, along with the 747 one of the best things Boeing has ever built.
Boeing is cutting some real discount deals to keep the order books up and the stock price up, with the 787-program losing money and the disaster KC-46 program in the dumps, they have to do something. Gone are the days when Boeing was the premier commercial manufacturer in the world and most of it has to do with poor management starting at the top.
Boy is the future if flying totally boring! Gone are days of wide body comfort.. Scarebus has plenty of orders.. its good to see Delta buying American.
BTW - if the 737 MAX 10 truly is a competitor to the A321NEO, then why does Delta need the MAX 10? Delta already has 155 A321 NEO's on firm order, with another 45 options?
