UAL new A/C order by the end of August

[flyn96]

150 firm widebodies with 75 options


75 Firm C series CRJs with 75 options

There is part of your problem! You mainline guys think if it ain't made by Boeing or Airbus it must be an RJ. Draconian thinking and failure to adapt is why you are called a legacy. I would make sure this "RJ" is flown by UAL list and not your feed this time around.

How do you double the value UAL aircraft? Fill it with Jet Fuel.

OH SNAP

pretty sad-- our 737's were worth on avg about 2 million per plane

Mmmmm...UAL order. QUICK....would SOMEBODY SEND ME A SCANTRON FORM because I just found out I'm 1/16th American Indian...AND 1/16th BLACK!!!

Yahooooooo. I'm in like Flynn!

And to think this dream was going to go to waste!

Apparently the gov't has expanded the cash for clunkers program to include old B737s.

Good One!

Isnt embraer designing a aircraft to compete with the c-series?

they already built it, the E-190. bombardier is just behind the power curve on getting it out but it looks like they are improving on what Embraer did with the E-JET.

Has the C series even flown yet? That has to be at least 5 years or more down the road. As the old saying goes, " when I see new planes on the ramp ". If it makes to the papers, stock will go up a few cents glen and his minions(sp) will sell a couple shares and then cancel the order.

Bombardier C-Series aircraft are not "RJs." They are 110-130 seat mainline aircraft with a 3x2 configuration.

says who?? It will be advertised to airlines and sold as an RJ...they (airline mgt) will love the idea since it will keep labor costs down. How many airline pilot contracts have open loop holes that don't protect these from being outsourced.

If the C series is a pig, I'd hate to see what you fly.
Once put into service, it will be a cash machine.

I hope it has some engines that allow it to perform...that CRJ 900 like the A321 is a flying horseturd!!
