I can assure you Delta doesn't have an affinity either way - it comes down to the best deal. The only reason the 350/787 order went to Airbus was the delivery timeline was much shorter.

I hate it when anyone plays these games and hope it ends up in a black eye for Boeing. European airlines after all buy alot of aircraft. Sadly this is the time that Air Canada should be receiving a number of 737s from Boeing.
Half expecting some C series production or say finish work to happen in Mobile, as an end run around the "chicken tax" that Boeing created.
