They didn’t actually announce the retirement of the 747, a possibility could be that they needed extra cargo capacity in the long run and are planning to fly both types for the foreseeable future.
Good thing is with Delta is that unlike United, their A321neo won’t be replacing the 757
Then a better alternative would have been the E2.
They have 7 747s and signed the LOI for 7 A350s…
Also unlike AA
Yeah well it’s clear they only like Airbus rn. Just like DAL
For UA, it’s the A321XLR and the 737 MAX replacing the 757; the standard A321neo will replace older A320/319s.
Yeah. United’s using the XLR as a 757 replacement 
They should’ve f*cking ordered 777s in the 90s
757XLR
The A220 isn’t actually Airbus. It just bought the program.
They had the 747
ARE YOU SAYING THE 777 IS BETTER THAN THE 747 @PlanesAndGames
Yooo he swearing 
Why use the XLR as a 738 replacement. That makes no sense. I could see the normal neo, but using the XLR for short flights is just dumb.
Ik. But they dont care. Plus Airbus makes them now
Instead of A330s and A380s idiot
this devious licks trend went too far
Oh it’s itsoom
Yeah it is
They’ll probably try flying it to HNL 
hi fren
