United Airlines Could Order New Widebody Aircraft By End Of Year (Simple Flying)

Boeing 787 or Airbus A350? Scott Kirby has been a regular visitor to United Airlines' pilot training center in Denver. As reported by Seeking Alpha, it is ...

The new order included 50 of the [MAX8](https://simpleflying.com/tag/boeing-737-max-8/) variant and 150 of the larger [MAX10](https://simpleflying.com/tag/boeing-737-max-10/) variant, which is still in production and certification. The new aircraft will feature the new signature interiors, and the existing aircraft will be retrofitted by 2025. Supposedly, Kirby added that the order could be for more than 100 aircraft, almost the size of [American Airlines](https://simpleflying.com/tag/american-airlines/)' entire widebody fleet. [United placed the most significant order by a single airline in a decade](https://simpleflying.com/breaking-united-airline-places-huge-270-airbus-boeing-order/) and the largest ever in United States history. If United were to add the A350, it would be the first widebody type of a different manufacturer in the airline's fleet, generating high training and operational costs. As reported by Seeking Alpha, it is rumored that on a recent visit to the training center, Kirby shared with the pilots that United is considering a large order of widebody aircraft soon.

United Airlines just made a ridiculous promise to customers (can you ... (ZDNet)

There are ways of trying to make your customers less angry. Could this actually work? And is this the right way to talk about it?

Instant access to an agent with a smiling face and a delightful demeanor? And the more frustrated United's customers will become. Well, I actually suffered by watching this long airport line move as slowly as some of United's planes have been lately. But here's United's contention: this 15-minute ad is long and dull, just like an airport line. Promises such as the expected arrival time of your flight. Or even the promise that your plane will actually take off.
