Delta considers order for up to 200 new planes

I vote embrear or however you spell it. They make one comfortable aircraft from a passenger perspective.

Likely not, Allan, but what's important than seeing as manufacture's profits rise is the fact that a 200+ aircraft order will keep thousands of people employed for years to come.

I don't really care whose aircraft they get (the new Airbus ones are nice too), but I'll be happy to see the DC-9/MD-80 fleet go away.

Its not about being patriot about the issue but it the best aircraft suited for the airline that particular time

I echo franksd2 comment, Boeing!

Please buy Boeing aircraft.

Airplane manfrs have no chance of making money on these big orders but the spare part business should be good.

I wonder how many planes are flying around that are 20 years old or more ...I've never had a car that is twenty years old ..I know if I had I would have to look after it with some serious tender loving care.
