They're dumping Boeing for Airbus. Trump needs to make a phone call.

Doesn’t Ever Leave The Airport.
My hometown airline, but I’ve grown to hate it immensely.

Don’t worry, Boeing will deliver them to Iran at a discount

The 787 program has been a disaster. Nothing has ever been delivered on time and some components have still not been delivered.

Canceling the 787 order appears to be a good move by Delta as they are keeping their order for 120 of Boeing’s 737-900ERs.
The 737-900ERs are great planes, the newest variant of the 737, the best passenger aircraft ever built.
To: JohnBrowdie
No, Delta has a large order for Airbus A330 and A350XWB planes that makes the 787 order superfluous. Delta now plans to start taking deliveries of these new planes starting in 2018 to replace the 747 and older A330 fleets.

True unfettered competition is best for all.
Boeing has forgotten how to win or what it even feels like anymore. They need to radically adjust to their market.

Delta, which has taken a more conservative approach to buying new planes than its competitors, said it still has orders for 120 Boeing 737-900ERs and is taking delivery of those planes.

The worst flight experiences I've had have been w/Delta.
I avoid them like the plague.

I HATE Airbus seats - they are designed for 5’ 8” metro-sexual males. 6 foot plus frames with wide shoulders just do not fit.
To: JohnBrowdie
The list price for a 787-8 Dreamliner is $224.6 million, making the Delta order worth as much as $4 billion. Airlines typically get bulk discounts for large orders, however. And they wanted to make up for the fiasco with a single AF One.....

Wise flyers have been dumping Delta for several years.
They’re a thuggish globalist company.
