Why not both?

Not surprising considering the increase in the A350 and A330Neo orders. There are 32 A330Neo's, and 26 A350's still on the order book, rendering the 777's as unnecessary given the greater efficiency of both the Airbus aircraft, plus the reduction in flying. Airbus will probably give Delta latitude to bring in the new Airbus' when needed.

Jasper - wasn't the DC-9 the first time a major manufacturer created a new model that was smaller than existing models being sold?

Jasper - you are truly an aficionado. To show you how much I loved the DC-9, I arranged for my million mile flight on Delta to be on a DC-9-51 from Nashville to Atlanta. I also lived for many years about a mile from the Long Beach airport and watched them test fly the new birds.

Jeez-oh-man, take all the romance out of my squawk. You are correct of course. :-)

And the project was green lighted with an order for 50 aircraft from Delta in 1963, if my records are accurate.

Somewhat off-topic. Ironic that Delta was the launch customer for the DC-9 in 1963 and will be among the last, if not the last, to operate the type.

I sure will miss these planes. I always loved them. At least Delta will still be flying the 717, so the DC-9 will still be in the air.

One unmentioned item - Boeing can hardly go hat in hand to the US government while looking to invest in a foreign entity.
