Boeing and United Airlines Finalize 787 Order


United to expand international service with fuel-efficient Dreamliner


SEATTLE and CHICAGO, Feb. 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Boeing (NYSE: BA) and United Airlines (Nasdaq: UAUA) have finalized an order for 25 787-8 jetliners. The agreement includes the opportunity to purchase another 50 Dreamliners.
"Boeing and United Airlines share an 80-year partnership," said Jim Albaugh, president and CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes. "United, which launched the Boeing 777, now begins a new chapter with the 787 Dreamliner, the most technologically advanced commercial jetliner ever built."
The order is valued at $4.2 billion at average list prices.
"United's Boeing 787 order represents a substantial investment in our future and will enhance the significant progress we are making in improving the global competitiveness of our company while providing the opportunity to open new profitable markets and serve a broader range of international destinations," said John Tague, president of United Airlines.
United expects to take delivery of the 787s at the same time it will begin to retire its Boeing 747s and 767s operating on international routes.
The 787 Dreamliner, currently in flight test, will provide greater fuel efficiency, allowing airlines to add new, nonstop city pairs and the additional frequencies that passengers prefer.
The 787 also promises a more comfortable flying experience for passengers. Its innovations include a new interior environment with improvements in air filtration, higher cabin pressurization resulting in reduced physical fatigue, larger windows, more stowage space, improved lighting and other passenger-preferred conveniences.
The technologically advanced 787 will also provide airlines with up to 45 percent more cargo revenue capacity
Including United Airlines, 57 customers around the world have ordered 876 Dreamliners, making the 787 the fastest-selling new commercial jetliner in history.

Fits in nicely with the 787's on order at CO.

Don't get too excited, they wont be here for another 6 yrs and its just replacement, not growth. I bet they cancel the order or sell them in a couple of years. Hell air lingus may take off and buy them from U. That will allow titty to out source more ual jobs.

exactly, it is amazing how many people cannot put this together....it is coming.

How do the A350s fit with CAL? Would that suggest an equal fit with USAirways (I thought they had ordered the A350)? Looks like Titty is being strategic and getting ready for a bidding war...

 

[densoo]

A350s now B787s. This is to shift upwards the "career expectations" of the UAL pilots in the merger with CAL. Seen another way, each plane order UAL makes moves the career expections of the CAL pilot down.

Yes, I know, the arbitrator will take into account not one plane is on the property, paid for, or that one cent has not be borrowed or planned to be borrowed to pay for them. In fact, it is no more than a story in a newspaper, a shadow of an image, a wisp of a whim, a pebble in a strategists wallet.

Then why does it seem in a seniority integration that the UAL representative will be able to spin this into massive growth to create the largest carrier in the world, while CAL's only expectations will be that they were on their way to shrinking to a vanishing point, thus leaving just one option for the arbitrator--place the one pilot left at CAL, employee number 75932, hire date 7/29/1995, at spot 8,578 out of 11,935, on the combined list.

Man, that UAL guy at 8,579, employee number 865FB, hire date 3/2/2011, is going to be crazy upset.

i don't know how the rep is going to be able to spin massive growth when united's CFO on CNBC the other day basically said they would all be replacement aircraft.

 

[whatitdoing?]

Remind me how we have a say in any of this?
