Delta orders 100 A321neo with the ACF (Airbus Cabin Flex) configuration
Delta Air Lines chose the Airbus A321neo to renew its single-aisle fleet and the Pratt & Whitney PW1100G-JM engines to power it.The value of the order is roughly $25.4 billion at list prices. (airlinerwatch.com) さらに...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
I don't see any advantage to the ACF configuration. 197 people take a long time to plane and deplane. The L2 door boarding works great. Adding window exits restricts who and sit them (most understand English, be able to operate the door, must be 15, etc. and requires the time for a F/A to brief the exit rows. Passengers fighting to get the exit rows and dealing with additional fares for those seats all add cost. The 8 door, no overwing exit eliminates all that mess.
I was wondering about whether Boeing sold anything recently and found this:

Boeing’s net total order count for the first 11 months of 2017 comes to 647 commercial aircraft, compared to Airbus’ 331 net order total for the same period. The count does not include military, business/VIP and private customer orders.
As of Nov. 30, Boeing has delivered 657 commercial aircraft compared to Airbus’ 588. Military, business/VIP and private customers are not included in these totals.
So it looks to me like Boeing isn't going to fold it's tent and fade into the desert twilight anytime soon.

Boeing or any other company cannot afford to keep losing the big ones. This is actually a contract with another 100 options which undoubtedly will enable Delta to convert some of them to the A-321LR as their 757's age out. Boeing has no replacement and with Airbus already set up at Delta this is most likely. American and United have almost 100 757's that will need to be replaced and will have the Delta experience to evaluate.
One occurrence is an incident, a second a coincidence, a third is a trend.
No, but at the same time, they still try and bully the smaller players!
And appear to expect the current federal administration to hold its coat.
