Boeing have spent over a decade trying to put new engines on the 777. The Max7 and 10 are continually pushed back. I wouldn’t be confident on anything Boeing until it’s delivered, and even then, as the max showed…
Airbus are going gangbusters with the A321neo.

They are until they are not. Again, until it's at a gate with Delta paint, it's just an order.

I get the skepticism, but barring something crazy the NEOs are coming. This isn’t a paper airplane or orders in the distant future, this is a plane we already have a few dozen examples of actively flying in DL paint flown by DL pilots delivered in the past 18 months.

you mean like the 40+ that are flying around our system now?

They got crushed on the A380 however and the A330 NEO is a flop unless something dramatic happens with orders.

321neo is the bread and butter. 5,200+ orders in total. Slightly under the entirely of orders for the Max family.

I was obviously talking about the whole conversation in my response and not just what I quoted. You’re right I’m happy about the pay rates. There was more to what I said than just that. Like the weekly neo vs 757 route structure arguments as if anything even sticks here with networking. I am lost how I’m the sour grapes of the conversation but this is generally how every neo vs 757 argument ends, so not surprised really.
It’s really not that deep. the post I literally responded to was sour grapes and I’m asking what the JS complained about.
