No Dreamliners for SouthernJets

Delta never wanted the -8s. Wait for the order for -9s.

Not only do they not want the -8s but they certainly don't want the -9s either, I'm afraid. Too redundant with the Airbus fleet.

The only 787 variant that would make any sense would be the -10 and the chance for those were these 18 that are now officially toast.

Unless something has changed, the orders on the -10 were few and far between. So they could definitely get in early on that model.
 
We deferred our 350's till 2018 because of our 777/787 deliveries. We are hearing they deferred the 78's because our 2017 350's will go to DL.

(Rumor from employee shuttle driver)
 
The international markets are terrible right now. Everyone is deferring/delaying/canceling orders. Just saw a news clip that even Emirates is delaying A380 orders for 2 years
 
NWA was as close as taking delivery as you cant get and not have it materialize. The 787 sim was set up and working at NATCO, and all of the classrooms were all decked out ready for business.

Then one day, it was all carted away.

NEVER believe in aircraft orders, let alone rumors, until you're sitting in one.

That just elevates NATCO's status and prestige even more! What is Delta's called today?

Eeeeeeeeeeyup!

Kind of like sitting around a seniority list for years on end waiting for a flow.
