Today's @United/@BoeingAirplanes order is every bit as massive as has been teased over past weeks. The carrier added 100 firm 787 orders, 100 options, and 100 more 737 MAX to its backlog through 2032.

The first 100 787s are tipped as replacements, mostly for the 767s but also very much for the older 777s in the fleet. Indeed, despite the company waxing on about the A350 as a potential 777 replacement eventually, the vast majority of the existing 777 fleet will go to 787s.
Assuming exercise of the options, United believes that ~80% of its long-haul operations could fly on the Dreamliner by the end of the decade.
In some markets that could also mean a lot of extra Y seats, in order to keep the premium capacity flying like today.

.@AmericanAir will discontinue its Shuttle branded northeast product as a part of the Northeast Alliance with @JetBlue.
If passengers want flexibility and shuttle-like perks, there's a new fare brand called Main Select that includes some priority and Main Cabin Extra. #PaxEx

Here's me in 2019: "These two Shuttle flights felt like any other. The Shuttle term has become so watered down that I’m not sure if it even means anything anymore."
Apparently American agreed.

The sun is coming up over Newark airport where @united is celebrating its largest aircraft order in history. The massive 270 plane deal will reshape the US market in many ways. And unlike the eVTOL or Supersonic, this one is real.
#UnitedNext #avgeek #paxex
#UnitedNext #avgeek #paxex
The headline number is 270 new single-aisle planes, and that is massive. But it comes atop an existing order book that now reaches 500 frames. Another 300 will be retired, but these are mostly older 50-seat RJs (~200). The growth planned is hard to fathom.
United will increase its overall seat count by roughly 75,000 with this transition. This is the equivalent of adding the seat capacity of Allegiant, Frontier Airlines, and Spirit Airlines *COMBINED* into the US market. #UnitedNEXT #AvGeek #PaxEx

Happy 2021 and good morning from New York's Penn Station! I've spent countless hours of my life waiting for trains in this underground dump.
That ends today. Sort of. Let's go take a look at the new Moynahan Train Hall, officially opened as of today 🎉

First off is the new @LIRR concourse entrance on 7th Ave. It's a grand entrance with a great piece of artwork - a map!
Moynihan Train Hall has several new entrances along 8th Avenue. These entrances opened a little while ago for access to @LIRR's West End Cooridor but now allow full access to the train hall.
Been away from the TSA screening data for a few days but the trend marches steadily onward. Week to week numbers increasing at a ~3% clip in recent days (down from 5% last week) and YoY % holding in the low 30s.

TSA screening topped 900k for the first time on a non-holiday weekend since April on Sunday. T/W/S growth is slower than M/R/F/U but if these trends hold (~30k/day increase per week) could hit 800k on the 7-day moving average in a couple weeks. #PaxEx
The $DAL earnings out this morning are every bit as awful as one might expect.
Retirement of the 737-700 fleet confirmed and some 763ER and A320s also out, though counts not provided.

Earnings call now running and the news isn't good. "Business travel has not returned in any meaningful way...we remain cautious on the pace of recovery for the balance of the year," says Bastian.
Q3 is expected to be 20-25% of YoY capacity. Ouch.

In 2001, 2003, 2008, 2011 the airlines kept empty planes flying more. IAG's Willie Walsh expects that to be very different this time around. Notes that some planes are grounded already. #AvGeek #A4ESummit
Ryanair's O'Leary notes that unlike post-9/11:
We haven't reduced prices. We're not trying to encourage unnecessary travel. We'll take the hit but it will be a short-lived phenomena.
