RIP to the NMA. it’s done. it would have been a neat aircraft.

this is another indication that the rumors boeing has shelved the NMA for a 737 successor probably have some truth to them, which is the proper long-term decision for boeing.

the first MAX 10 frame has rolled out, but i have serious doubts about the viability of UA’s 100-frame order.

i have consistently believed that we will never see a UA A350; this is certainly another piece of evidence supporting that. however, canceling the RR engine order is reportedly a larger hurdle. i wonder if UA and RR finally came to some sort of cancelation agreement - i can’t see UA agreeing to use RR engines on future 787 deliveries, for example. there just seems no role for RR in UA’s fleet plan.
