Something else I noticed with my digging for info.
I took a look at the entire Delta fleet and was a little surprised.
Delta have equal number of Airbus aircraft 490 to Boeing's 491. But what drew my attention was what Delta have on order.
With Boeing only one order for 100 787 Max10's. Not sure with the problems with that aircraft how the timing of delivery and how concrete that order is.
With the Airbus order they have 71 A220-300's, 86 A321-Neo's , 8 A330-900's and 9 A350-900's for a total of 174 aircraft on order.
Notice which way they seem to be leaning with Boeings safety record.
This also raised a thought about whether Delta will again provide the same guidance and assistance with the installation of APB's into Airbus aircraft on the same sort of deal. They have 127 A321-210 in their fleet, which could be a good place to start?
It should be remembered that Delta get some sort of return with orders by other airlines for approved applications where they assisted in development. So I can't imagine that Delta would be reluctant in doing it all again.
It's a very valuable relationship SMN have with Delta Airlines.
