BOEING ORDERS? - Why Delta Is Moving Away From Boeing
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 бер 2024
- Delta is currently plotting the future of its operations and, as such, has placed several high-profile aircraft orders. However, despite a commitment for the 737 MAX the way Delta is moving is towards Airbus, why is this? What factors contribute to such decision-making, and is it for the best?

Another reason is that Airbus doesn’t murder whistleblowers
And you have proof for a jury that Boeing does? Can you spell libel?
@@watchtellyinuk Calm your t ts there, Boeing fanboy. Did you invest in Boeing stock or why are you so pressed? lol You are not seriously implying that one of the USA's biggest corps that is deeply connected to the US government and basically murdered 350 people out of pure greed a couple of years ago and still continues to not only not improve but continuealy get worse would not be capable of murdering the whistle blower who was just set to testify against them in a lawsuit that could spell mega disaster for them?
@@watchtellyinukNo. And Yes: L.I.B.E.L.
How much Boeing stocks you have 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂if you didn't sell earlier maybe it's better to sell now before you lose everything

Smartest move Delta could ever do, get far away from Boeing.
Wrong. You are just totally wrong.
These armchair pilots are out of control.
I wish I'm in Europe so I can fly only with Airbus planes
@@goxyeagle8446 Airbus and Boeing planes are dominantly found all over the world.
@@thecomedypilot5894 Yes but airlines in US predominantly use Boeing planes while European ones use Airbus
Delta's executive team must be ecstatic right now, with all the Boeing issues, it seems they made the correct choice.
Nikkei Haley, what did you do to Boeing?
I think the only reason for them still hanging on to the 737 MAX order is the extremely long lead time on the A320 family. If problems at Boeing don't stop and they find a way to get A320 family planes quickly enough, this order will be canceled...
Hopefully the closure and retooling of the A380 factory to A320 Family, it should help their backlog, unless they suddenly want more A380s.
Hopefully Airbus does not make the same mistake Boeing made and they don't compromise quality to fulfill orders and schedule.
@@carlosc2229 absolutely. So far I can't see any signs of that happening, but there was a time when nobody saw coming what's happening at Boeing now.
Dont forget Chinas C919, now making 100 aircraft for Chinas Airlines. It will make a very strong competitor against the 737 max (it doesn't fall out of the sky) If other airlines in the West cancel their 737max models, they have somewhere else to buy.
@@johnchristmas7522 with the geopolitical climate between the US and China being what it is, I don't see any US carrier buying a Chinese aircraft in the near future. Planes from Europe may be "from the wrong people" on the economical side, but politically there aren't the tensions as there are with China.
However, for airlines from other parts of the world it is very true...
All I know is that a350-1000 is gonna look stunning 🤩 in Delta’s livery once they start getting delivered! 👌🏼🙌🏼✈️
I was flying A350, what a powerful engines
A beautiful plane indeed.
You can't change my opinion because I HATE a350-1000
I'm not getting on any Boeng plane where the doors blow off or the plane suddenly dives into the ground. No way.
Me neither. I used to worship Boeing , travelled Sydney to Seattle, to tour Boeing factory. Now I am Airbus
Just think the clowns have been in charge over there for almost thirty years. Think about how many other stupid problems that haven't surfaced yet, or become apparent.
Boeing also murders whistleblowers.
Boeing also mrrders whistleblowers.
The sudden diving was from the captain's seat being motored into the controls, probably with the help of his meal tray, when a flight attendant inadvertently pressed a switch on the back. But the poor shielding/retention is still on Boeing.
If Airbus can improve production rates, Boeing is in big trouble.
I think Airbus can only very slowly increase production rate because unlike Boeing they care about safety and quality and know they would have to cut corners to churn out more planes.
Boeing is already in big trouble. No need for Airbus for that.
come on... they can only build planes at a certain pace to keep up with quality
@@phantagirlableexactly 💯
Boeing is in BIG trouble already.
Side note- Boeing sued Bombardier about the C-Series order, right after Delta ordered the C-Series. What better way than to send your customer into the arms of your competitor.
Yep this was obviously a big one. Don’t know how he forgot this one. It was a huge order too. And Boeing lobbied against that deal, successfully too, running the deal with Delta and Bombardier. Till Airbus came along and with one single signature got a free plane and slapped that double barreled shotgun Boeing was aiming. Effectively making Boeing shooting themselves on both feet
If it's a Boeing,I ain't going.
Not funny any more. Grow up.
@@watchtellyinuk Who said he was trying to be funny? I think these days most people are dead serious when they say that.
@@phantagirlable they are trying to be funny, or they just have no life, and probably won't fly on any plane
@@watchtellyinuk Hello salty Boeing-fanboy!
You know, the original phrase was "If it's *not* Boeing, I ain't going."
The real reason was when Boeing went scorched earth on Delta for ordering the C-Series. Boeing lobbied to get a 200% tariff put on the C-Series. That burned some bridges and Airbus saved the day.
Yet it is still a pile of garbage. Pssst…I work on them…they SUCK
@@justinglass9340 LoL. Get lost troll!!!!
Corprate greed over quality and safety is catching up with boeing.
Was about to comment just that. Unfortunately it's true
Best post on here.
The question is not why switch. The question is, why not?
Expensive project to train or hire pilots, maintenance staff, spares, IT systems etc. won’t be a big issue with carriers who have a good mix of both. But carriers like United who are Boeing heavy will be big losers in the immediate future

No actually, you're wrong.
A fool is made...when you name your kid Wade.
Prior to the 2008 merger with NorthWest, Delta was flying exclusively Boeing and MD planes. The merger was the trigger point and started to turn the tide towards Airbus. Delta is now roughly 50/50 Airbus/Boeing today (2024).
That's essentially true. Delta had their first taste of Airbus when they picked the carcass of PanAm and acquired the A-310s. They seemed happy with them.
Delta's takeover of NorthWest was much more fortuitous than McDonnell Douglas' reverse takeover of Boeing from bankruptcy. Why would you let a board (and ideology) that had already destroyed one major air frame manufacturer, infest and destroy your own?
Today already Delta. Tomorrow maybe United Airlines...
United is distracted by diversity.
@@dougwolfe6125 to be fair, so is Delta (but certainly not to the extent UAL is with their "DEI is our top priority" drag CEO).

@@kerkcason7318I don't see that happening. It's like Ryanair, they would fail if they switched palnes
A lot of people here in the US underestimate Airbus.
Whay are they do that?
Honestly I think most of it is a matter of pride. An American product. Deep inside, they will not accept another manufacturer that is not American.
@@adprie1498they will if they know that they are going to be losing business
@@adprie1498lots of Americans buy Japanese, Korean and European cars.
@@adprie1498 No, you're completely wrong.
Delta already has a very large A320 Family fleet of planes, and has 103 A321neo planes on order. Delta may cancel the 737-10 order and replace it all with an additional 100 A321neo planes.
They will get the A320s from Airbus's Final Assembly Hall in Mobile, Alabama while the A330s and A350s are from Toulouse, France.
@@dennis12dec Delta will likely get their A321neo planes--if they cancel the 737-10 order and order 100 A321neo's--from a mix of deliveries from Mobile, AL and Toulouse assembly lines (Airbus recently converted the former A380 assembly line to build the A320 Family planes).
@@dennis12decUh-oh. You know, once of a day I'd have bought a US built product in preference to many others, still would with some items, because they're often well made and if anything, overbuilt. The US makes some fine construction tools, for example, when the European market for hand-tools has all too often gone for cheap and lousy, but I don't want to fly on any US-built aircraft- or buy anything that needs an educated workforce to build it that's made in a state like Alabama or similar, with their lousy education levels.
Thats very probable seeing that the MAX10 is short on range.
@@johnchristmas7522 That isn’t the issue. The 737-10 has the range to fly transcon USA routes. I think Delta wants a plane that doesn’t fall apart in revenue service.
Im an American and what has happened to Boeing has been decades in the making. They went from an engineering company making excellent products to being bought by wallstreet, in the 90's and its taken this long for executive management to GUT all the QC in production for short term gains posted to wallstreet. Ive heard from many engineers it takes 7-12 years for the BS rolling off the line to present itself to the public which is spot on. We can expect a lot more Boeing accidents in the future. And i have two weekends ahead of me flying 737s :(
Boeing uses temp workers. That pretty much says everything about their manufacturing these days.
You’re right but also statistically there’s an over 99% chance you’ll be a ok
@@aboutface10299% isn’t that great in aviation. 99% means 1 accident per hour at an airport like Chicago or Atlanta. 👀
@@rtbrtb_dutchy4183 I said 'over 99%' ;)
@@rtbrtb_dutchy4183 Although Boeing is doing everything they can to decrease that percentage.
What’s interesting is United’s decision to lease some Airbus planes in the wake of Boeing’s issues. If this trend continues, Boeing will be hard pressed to win the business back.
Delta is my preferred domestic carrier. I will not fly any carrier that has Boeing Max series. Honestly going to Airbus is a smart decision. Boeing is not doing right by the flying public and airlines.
So what will you do when Delta eventually gets its 737 MAX 10s,
Assuming Boeing ever gets the Max certified 😂
@@ryanthomas887 that's a matter of when and not if
@@mrAhollandjr change carriers.
@@BrooklynBound4 Spirit, Frontier, Allegiant and JetBlue are remaining options opportunities. But I heard Allegiant is getting MAX aircraft too
Delta basically started the move from Boeing after they completed the merger with Northwest. After that they have solely ordered from Airbus (apart from the Bombardier C Series order in 2017, and the recent Boeing 737 MAX 10 order)
Although in 2011 they did order the 737-900ER
Yes, they received over 130 737-900ers plus fly 120 737-800’s lots of 757, 767, 717
Boeing doesn’t make replacements for 757 767 717
There was a time when Delta was a major Douglas customer.
I've worked with Boeing flight test and I've seen things that would shock the public, more airlines should go Airbus. Boeing has completely lost their way in manufacturing quality aircraft
So has Airbus.
@@watchtellyinukI don't believe they have had a scathing report on safety from the aircraft safety authority - unless you have evidence otherwise.
So has Airbus dude. Airbus is literally no different.
@@thecomedypilot5894Same answer to you as watchtellyinuk: I don't believe they have had a scathing report on safety from the aircraft safety authority - unless you have evidence otherwise.
@@thecomedypilot5894How do you know?
I love flying delta specifically because they are more airbus focused. I hope the A320 backlog gets filled quick enough for them to cancel the 737max.
Remember when Delta was mainly Douglas Convair and Lockheed
I’ve been flying Delta whenever possible for years. Through the years I have had the same flights on Boeing and equivalent Airbus and always thought the Airbus flights were better. More comfortable, less noise, maybe even faster. These days with so many Boeing issues I won’t get on a flight which is a Boeing. They are the Chrysler of aircraft.
I actually feel more comfortable in airbus too. The cabin is wider, and so are the seats. The seat width is 18", and the 737's is 17,3". That doesn't sound like much, but I do feel it quite well.
Airlines like SWA and Ryanair would be prudent to start diversifying their fleets now, no matter how painful.
First of all...how are your eyes? Doing well we hope. Secondly...they rarely take advice from anonymous tools on YT comments. Sorry little buddy.
About to be a Delta regular, I absolutely love the comfort of Airbus planes. Even Economy seats are usually spacious. I have had experiences with 737s where I felt curled up like a banana on a window seat.
Hopefuly Airbus keep the quality levels up. Corporate Greed should never creep into quality assurance.
Lol you nailed that, "curled up like a banana".
I live in Atlanta, I was a huge Boeing fan, not anymore. I still love the 777 and the iconic 747. I was at first bummed out that Delta was heavily Airbus, after the Max fiasco no more. I am a reluctant airbus fan. I still love the yoke and how each pilot can see/feel the movement but Airbus is planning the same for hit side stick. I am glad Delta is going Airbus. I will NOT fly on the Max unless it’s a last minute switch or I have no “choice” I dont trust that airplane or Boeing. Glad Delta is going Airbus.
Not only the Max,Dreamliners are now suspect as well and under investigation after a pilot momentarily lost control of the plane last week due to an instrument blackout causing the plane to plunge suddenly before the power came back on but not before several passengers were thrown against the ceiling causing serious injuries to a few of them.
@@eyeofthetiger6002What about the 777x?
You left out one very important reason for Delta and other airlines making the switch to Airbus. That is the flying public's confidence in Boeing. With so many incidents happening with Boeing aircraft in the news passengers are scared to fly on any Boeing aircraft. I for one will not get on a Max plane or any Boeing plane. I now choose my flights according on which airline is flying an Airbus. Plane and simple.
Same here. My 1 demand will be no boeing when I fly.
Wrong. Delta has been pursuing Airbus purchases for at least 5 years. That predates the Max crashes and all the other recent issues that sway public opinion. THey may have seen something they didn't like in the Boeing management, but there was no public dislike of Boeing planes when they started moving toward Airbus.
@@johngoscinski1995 I guess you are new to this and don't know how long Boeing has been producing shoddy products.
Right, I just booked a flight, two legs each way. Out on A330/A321 and back on A319/A380. I blocked 737s from the search.
I love the A380 @@cageordie
I'm a frequent flier and want to stay that way. So I told my travel agency only to book my flights on Airbus aircraft, not always possible because of flight changes. If more travellers did this then the likes of United would realise what big mistake they made. Sadly you cant just say its the 737 because you have the same management ethos across all models. 777x MAX? Dread to think. One day, the shareholders will realise, it will then get really serious very quickly.
I wouldn't write off the A330neo just yet either. The original A330 had a slow start, but I think we will see an uptick in A330neo orders over the coming years as it's actually a fantastic machine and airbus are continually looking at ways to make it even better. It's also a good hybrid of a high capacity short/mid haul aircraft with the range to do some decent long haul routes as well ... perfect for coast to coast and Trans Atlantic operations ...
Doesn't the airline understand that safety is a major concern for travelers? Planes coming apart in the air do not invoke confidence in the traveler!
Will this practice be remedied or will the practice continue? If it does what will customers decide?
Nothing hits harder than customer who close their wallets. I, when searching for flights, filter out the MAX series. I may add the 787 to that list. It would be very sad if COMAC would have superior safety record to Boeing.
@@liordagan9342
It might be sad, but it would be good to know.
@@liordagan9342Better add the 787. It's the first design that was developed with funds being cut left and right.
As it is said, an aircraft type usually takes a decade to show all of the issues it has.
@@jantjarks7946
As stated, the 787 is on the shortlist...
Being an Israeli, and flying with El-Al, Boeing was all I knew until my late twenties. I remember when the 777 came out, and it didn't have the battery smoke issues of the 787. It was safer than what it had replaced, just as it should.
@@jantjarks7946I’d say it’s flown long enough that I’d only blacklist particular airlines which I’m no longer comfortable to do with in the case of the MAX.
In a few weeks I will be on long flights from the US west coast to SE Asia. The first leg is on a Boeing 777 300 ER (EVA Airlines), the second leg on an Airbus A350-900 (Singapore Airlines).....several hours on each in the same day. I've been on Boeings many, many times but this will be my first long haul on an Airbus. Looking forward to comparing the two.
The best ever (for me) was the Air France 380 La Premiere. The service was incredible. CDG > MIA several times. Pity the A380 has been phased out.
@@watchtellyinuk The W aka 777 is a great airplane. Any Boeing aircraft produced prior to the year 2000 still has Boeing quality. I initially thought the max was very safe, considering how many analysts and engineers worked on fixing the MCAS issue but it's now apparent that Boeing has much deeper rooted issues. It's unfortunate that the company went this direction and there are reasons why; mainly MD. I do hope the best for Boeing but I have to admit to feeling safer on an Airbus now days.
In Airbus we trust 😍🥰❤️
Airbus, let’s go. Boeing, oh no!
Boeing planes have new problems almost every day, take for example the past week
The company seems to be run by sketchy people who operate it like a mob, not a business.
So do Airbus ... the media's just not covering it cause it's so less dramatic. I loathe flying but I am taking a United Boeing transatlantic next week. It's getting to the airport that concerns me.
@@watchtellyinuk you driving to the airport has a higher chance of having an accident they say aswell
@@bignessgta5 Exactly. On the way to the airport you may be hit by a door or a wheel falling out of the sky
@@watchtellyinukYet another stupid comment. What are the incidents that the media is not covering? Back up your comments with actual facts.
coz they received lots of Airbus pilot when merge with NW and they are happy with Airbus A330s.
Amazing video again Sir!! ❤❤
Where is this sir you reference?
Its disturbing how dark Boeing has become the last few years. And unimaginably getting worse. Its sad because competition drives innovations but as someone who loves aviation, Boeing isn't looking like the future. So many upgraded airplane types with Airbus while boeing is just sitting on the max that has so many issues years later. And the 777x that has been doing test flights for what seems like years. I want safe planes. And I cannot say boeing makes safe planes at this point in time. I cannot say Boeing as a company isn't cutting safety corners. Too much has come out. I am team Airbus now.
Right now it looks like a god point in time for a third producer to enter the competition to pick up the loose bolts Boeing leaves lying around
Boeing had better get their 💩 together real fast.
I fly a lot and was an admirer of Boeing until the past 10 years. I now feel much more comfortable flying on an Airbus. When I see A321 and not 737, I feel better. Boeing chose the evolve from a company with a mission of having quality and engineering as their strategic approach to one that was usurped with return to shareholders underpins why I feel better flying Airbus
Fly Airbus see the World
Fly Boeing see the next one
Literally
good to hear your voice neutrally modulated… those very low modulated intro(s) from some videos sounded quite hilarious (at least for me).. nevertheless, content wise you are always always on point!
Hats off to delta. No company should result to murder to increase profit. If that's the case.
I know these things can’t happen overnight, but if I were Airbus I would be making it a big priority to get another A321 production up and running right now. The mess Boeing is in can be good for Airbus, but only if they can seize the opportunity.
Now, I’m not really knowledgeable in the aircraft order sector, but perhaps Delta could get a deal for earlier delivery dates if they made some other agreements. Namely, if DL agreed to commit to order A330-800s to replace their 763s, that could be enticing for Airbus given the A330-800 is really not selling well right now. Delta could get a good deal on the plane, and a similar capacity replacement for the 763s.
I think it's actually reassuring re Airbus' safety standards that they don't try to churn out as many planes as possible. Definitely would be great for their business of they did but they would probably have to cut corners. And I think we all agree that we don't want the only reliable airplane builder to cut corners. :/
Airbus are FULLY aware, the major problem is the fact that suppliers are still struggling after the pandemic. Then there's the problem of P&W Engines. Yes things are turning slowly around but it takes time. Speed is not the answer SAFETY is as Boeing are finding out. Training men and women also takes time. It has taken Airbus decades of hard work and commitment to break into the biased American Market, they will not want to put that in danger with a rushed decision
Delta are just realizing how good the airbus products really are. After operating the A350-900, it was only a matter of time before they ordered the -1000. Also, sometimes discounts dont influence which aircraft type to purchase. Meaning, you can save a lot buying a heavy fuel guzzler and end up losing in the long run, or pay a bit more but win in the long term with fuel savings and efficiency. As can be seen now with the a320 vs Max family. The max was heavily discounted, but airbus sold them out, smart CEO's chose the Airbus, and the ones who go for discounts went the Max way, and are now having to deal with all the max drama. 🤷🏾♂️✈️
I have flown to China on Delta three times and always on an Airbus 330. They inherited Airbus planes from NWA and they have continued a relationship with Airbus.
That’s the ones they fly on those routes..go figure
I wonder if Boeing is going to start remembering to put in the bolts.
Not with the current leadership. They focus on lobbying and getting certified via political shortcut
I think you have squeezed the last ounce of corny mirth out of this subject. Take the week off.

@@apeman9238 So predictable.
Boeing handed a huge gift to Airbus by ending the 757 and not taking up the NMA - enter the A321 boom. They are everywhere.
Hopefully, Southwest will switch to airbus as well. 🙏🏻
All their planes are Boeing 737 some are MAX variants as well. And which Airbus? a320? a321? ( incl NEO )?!
fr, it’s boring js seeing southwest planes being all 737’s they were looking at the a220 one time but went with the max 7, hopefully they do end up switching the max 7 with the a220-100
Thank you for sharing.😊
Simply because it is a better plane
If it’s a Boeing I’m not going
I'm never flying Boeing again. Simple.
Do you think the cs100 ordeal with Boeing plays a role in delta’s decision in the past few years as well?
Airbus owns two plants in Alabama...
One for A321's serie and a second for A320's serie... All are built for the south and north american market....
Good video. I think another factor that will impact Delta's decision to purchase more Airbus planes over Boeing is recent events. Not necessarily by the airline itself making the decision but by the decisions of their travelers. I recently booked a flight on a Delta Airbus A320 because it's an Airbus plane. Other companies wanted me to fly on a 737 Max to my destination but due to my lack of trust in the 737 Max I went with Delta's A320 option. Maybe I'm the only one but I'd like to have some faith in the plane I fly on and I hope that Airlines like Delta will notice that if enough other people do this too.
Hi there DJ if you are in business you need to have a production that is reliable each day can't have an airplane falling out of the sky or blowing of door's and then trying to cover up the messy behavior just can't work
It’s all down to cost; Delta picked up the a220 at ridiculously low prices. Airbus wanted to get into the US market and definitely offered them to Delta at something like $15 million/aircraft.
The 787 vs A330NEO, the 787 costs less, has a slightly shorter range, and weighs less. They don’t quite compete with each other for that reason and the distance between them is quite stark. The A330NEOs that Delta picked up were likely also offered at a steep discount to their list price, probably close to $115 million.
Delta had ordered a small taking of the A350s, but then they loved them so much that they took stakes in LATAM in order to secure their A350s. Delta retired its 777 fleet some years ago due to a comparative lack of fuel efficiency and a high empty operating weight vs the a350.
Problem for Airbus is that their delivery schedule is full on the a320 family through the 2030s so everyone will have to wait and suffer with Boeing
if I owned an airline, i would not buy boeing. Can't risk it.
Most wouldn't but when it takes 5 years to get an airbus it is rather easy to see why Boeing can still sell airframes. Currently, 40% of Boeing revenue comes from making war machines. If they don't clean up their act I suspect this number will climb.
That shortsightedness and ignorance is a large part of why you'll never manage an airline
@@markcornelius5291 Jet Blue seems to do alright with no Boeing jets. The fact is that Boeing assembles a pretty crappy airplane these days.
@@816928yeah aside from customer experience, I wouldn’t use JetBlue as a shining example of ANYTHING in the industry. Their ops are trash and they’ve been in the red for a while.
@@markcornelius5291 No ROI after lawsuits. As an owner (not a manager) Boeing can only be seen as a liability. Historical military and space achievements aside, commercial aviation is no longer their strongest suit.
I worked for B for 1 year and leaving was the best thing I ever did.
Well done Delta!🎉👏👏👏✊️💯
Boeing doesn't know where it's going, except down the gurgler. Airbus is flying.
If all the airlines in the world put a pause on Boeing aircraft for a year or so , this might be the only way they could have time to get their house in order. Their stock price could fall to the bottom and Boeing would have to restructure… hopefully back to the past practice of been innovative company
its ironic to see a TEAM USA sponsored aircraft being the a330, a european manufactured aircraft instead of an american one
Its a pity all the management and lawyers of Boeing don't take a oneway trip in a 737Max...
I don't for a second think Delta expects to have any MAX-10s flying for them. The reason is that this plane has not even been certified yet and will most likely see huge delays. I think this was more a move to keep on good terms with Boeing. Not only that, but Delta would be way down the list of deliveries of the MAX-10 when they start. This was just a symbolic order at best.
There are videos speculation the -10 will not be used in commercial aviation at all.
I would not want to buy a plane that falls apart either
Boeing has become General Motors of Aviation 😂
For years I basically used Jetblue or Delta whenever I needed to fly. This fantastic news comes only a couple of days after I said to myself I never want ANYTHING to do with boeing ever again 👍👍👍
Boeing is run by bean counters in Chicago now, investing only in stock buy-backs, not engineering or safety.
Boeing moved from ORD to IAD for easier lobbying.
But still tho,if delays with the Max 10 drag on even longer i think Delta could follow United's suit and probably could drop the order for the Max 10s and instead order more A321neos or even place orders for the A321XLR's, only time will tell 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
Ty dj!!
Airbus should stay aware of the work done for them by Spirit (?) which Boeing owns. They seem to be a significant source of problems.
Boeing does not own Spirit.
@@neodym5809 I've got some part of this wrong, but the one company works for both plane makers.
They owned what became Spirit before spinning it off to cut costs, and are considering bringing it back in.
I am sure they never thought of that. They should send you a check.
“If its Boeing - I aint going”, so not sure who wants to fly on a 777 max that might kill you...
Simplification is the best from an economic point of view having said that you don't want to reply 100% on one supplier. There's also something to be said for diversification!
That's both American, Delta and Air Canada placing huge Airbus orders.
During manufacturing all cellphones should be checked in before work and pickup after shift ends. That way engineers and technicians can concentrate on the important stuff.
All tv and social media should be banned between 9 to 5 across america no more lazy asses.
If it says Boeing, I ain't going. I want to be a passenger, not a statistic.
If Airbus builds the Airbus A220-500 ? They could cancel the dangerous Boeing 737 Max Jets.
If it is Boeing, I ain't goin.... rescheduled my flight last week from YVR to YYZ when I realised I would be on a Max. NO way I am flying the Max..or the dreamliner. Guess the last reliable aircraft they made is the 777.
There’s currently still nothing that can fill our 757/767 fleet fully with range, capacity, and performance from either manufacturer.
The amount of flights the xlr can't do that the 757 can are max 5% of routes. It can even fly further now. with 30% less fuel, less airport fees, less maintainance cost and higher communality to the vanilla A320.
@@Chris_1024_ I fly the bus. Great airplane. But the XLR will be like the NEO and all other 321 variants. Severely underpowered. The 75 could have full gas, full load of pax, and still depart hot, heavy, and high with performance to spare. The XLR already lost some of its range losing one of its fuel tanks. It won’t come close to the performance or cargo capacity the 752 had.
@@SidestickPilot So you think that5 the XLR willö not be able to fly 95% of th missioons just fine3 for far lower fuelkbill? Why are airlines buyoing them if they are so underpooweerte3d they basica
I love the A350 That Plane is a “DREAM” Pun intended… This just ain’t the same Boeing anymore they died when they Merged with McDonnell Douglas in the 90’s. Hoping Southwest goes the Airbus route I can see some A320 NEO’s or the A220 in there fleet!
Delta is now my new airline; I don't want to be in a Boeing airplane at all.
It would have been interesting to see what the NMA would have been and how it would have affected the airlines industry but...... so.....lets see if the accountants can cure the current engineering problems or will the engineers have to retake control?
Always buy from at least two manufacturers.. this will keep manufacturers on their toes.
Delta had its time with Boeing and they’re recognizing it. Now it’s time to enjoy the older reliable Boeing jets while we still have them
I find it interesting the commentator talked of American built aircraft, one must remember Airbus builds in the USA. An increase in buying Airbus could presumably equate to an increase in the US Airbus plant?
Delta certainly making the right choice by choosing Airbus, unfortunately with the reputation of Boeing b
poor Airbus was the only option, passenger satisfaction is paramount and many wil think twice about flying on a MAX wether it be Delta or another carrier.
for the close future it seems that Boeing is doomed with all the latest accidents - 777 wheel, 787 sudden shutdown and the max saga of course. If you have a chance to switch or continue with Airbus - do so.
I have been Flying on Delta, ... and was happy they did NOT have any Boeing 737 Max Aircraft. Disappointed that might change.
As an American Airlines pilot i agree with their decision! Bravo!
If it’s an airbus, then it’s good for us!
What happens when company adopts the private equity business model. The capital was all on the customers placing orders Sad that model should be outlawed now.

Why don’t you talk about Boeing’s quality control management failures?
Boeing really messed up when they did not redo and
Modernize the fabulous 757. My favorite aircraft this day! I work for Delta!
Delta didn’t place orders on the Max from the beginning. Maybe they knew something.🤔
Delta is the only US airline smart enough to not use unsafe Boeing planes.
You seem to forgot that Delta still operates a number of Boeing planes.
Not being a pilot or an engineer or a mechanic I say that taking a 4 engine plane and attaching larger but 2 engines to a similar sized plane probably has inherent engineering difficulties. If this issue is NOT at the heart of all of this and it is something else entirely then it is time to pull the plug and stop playing with lives in exchange for short term profits.
What is the return on investment for the Delta fleet by manufacturer?
Didn't even mention the front of a wing coming apart in little pieces(Wing fairing) composite leading edge that just started flaking off about a foot wide over a third of the wing. Didn't even come off in one part as it is supposed to be made but like a shattered piece of safety glass pecking off an inch or two at a time.
There's a big elephant in the room and you're not even mention it
