If we want an all airbus WB fleet we need to buy RR engines, and it sounds like RR is planning on taking full advantage of that.
RR is in a rather precarious financial situation, I think they’re very wary of “giving it away”.

Indeed, specifically RR who does not want to play ball on pricing and is in poor financial position currently.

Coincidentally, DL has many ties in current leadership to GE and the GenX program.

I still contend we see both fleet types (350/787) here over the next decade if for nothing else the MRO work.

Just my opinion, but I don’t think we see an order.

I predict Delta buying 787s (not this order, but the future bigger widebody replacement order) just to get the MRO contract on the GEnx

It’d be pretty cool if we did though.

Today was the first day of the Paris Airshow, wasn’t it? Isn’t it a week or so long?
