If you’re really gonna put a negative spin on this, I think the more appropriate avenue would be to call this a bluff. This is part of the narrative that our leadership team is putting together to convey that United is doing great and we are not only the airline to be working for, but the one to invest in (both in the market and with your business travel) as well. I think most savvy/financially conservative individuals will probably recognize this as such, but for the average corporate travel department, and or Frequent Flyer, this stuff probably moves the needle.
So I’d say this is more about the public narrative about United than Scott’s ego, per se. If everything he does that benefits the airline is tied back to his ego… then that’s kind of a lazy argument.

FWIW
Friend with an inside source a Boeing says:
XXXX USAF friends at Boeing saying;
Announcement is gonna be 50 firm 787’s with options for 120ish mix of more 787’s & 777X’s
🤞
“The new Boeing 777X will be the world’s largest and most efficient twin-engine jet…
Here’s to hoping it’s true!

Our president stated they are looking for board approval of 20 350-1000s. Otherwise nothing that hasn’t already been announced is on the horizon. I imagine if our AIP gets eventually ratified they could make some additional moves.

I said theres no way we order over 280 of them, and we now have FIRM orders for 100 with a further 100 options. Options are not orders, options arent even included in SEC filings fyi. And Even with the options its still less than your intital claim, but you're only counting some WB aircraft and not others or something like that I cant keep up.
You're the guy that goes to vegas and loses but comes home bragging about how much you "won"!
