I realize that United has gone through some hard times lately but really only buying plastic planes????
United Airlines is ordering both the A350XWB and the 787 to replace its 747 and 767 fleets respectively. Seriously this is a welcome fillip to the airline industry both for the airline side and the airframe side.
It is also an interesting order that signifies that United will be focused on flying the best plane for the job.
While the order flies in the face of conventional wisdom perhaps this will be the death knell of the single manufacturer model that seemed to be all pervasive in the US Market.
Congrats to the UA team for making the bold decision now.
Cheers
