SK: Sure (nudge, nudge, wink, wink).

These airlines still signed the deal a few years ago and, IMO, are about as likely to buy an Airbus as Legend is.

They each remain committed to a simplified, and ultimately all Boeing, fleet.

Applefan: I think the Boeing list now includes some number of Douglas planes too.
Eg, DL's total fleet right now is fewer than 804 planes, and it includes numerous MD80s and still a few 1011s. They still own almost all the Boeing jets they ever bought, except for a few 747s and about 40 727s they recently sold. So, I don't think the numbers add up unless they include DC8s &9s and MD80s.

So, the answer to nlp's original question is still: it depends. Do you mean planes sold as Boeings at the time, planes now counted as Boeings, total $$ value? These may be different answers.
