US airlines prep plane orders; AMR said to be close
(Reuters) - An avalanche of airplane orders from the largest U.S. airlines may be on the way, with at least four major carriers in talks to buy fuel-efficient narrow-body planes to renew aging fleets. AMR Corp (AMR.N), parent of American Airlines, is further along in discussions and is eyeing a large order for more than 250 narrow-bodies valued at more than $15 billion to be split between Boeing Co (BA.N) and its European rival EADS (EAD.PA) unit Airbus, sources close to some of the talks said.

Maybe Boeing will revive the DC/MD line...DC-12 anyone?
@panam1971 I'd guess the 7107 :p or the 737-1000 :p
@Kenneth: P&W gets rich due to the 100 seater war, as both the launch A320neo and CSeries uses PW's PW1000G and PW1500G engines respectively.
CFM will get rich later with the LEAP-X on the neo one year after PW brings the neo the PW1000G..

If Boeing builds a 797, what will their next 'plane be?
No Pratt, no GE, lambo engines!!! You know compared to a jet engine a lambo v10 is very fuel efficient!!!
How does Pratt & Whitney figure in this contest between Boeing and Airbus?
I like nice new airplanes as much as the next person, though I do prefer the Boeing product for jingoistic reasons. Got a chance to fly Airbus 380, in first class on Arab Emirates and I must admit, that can be quite addictive. However, it still comes down to customer service for me. Providing a nice ride will be wasted if you treat the paying public like crap and all the airlines are doing that these days
